Is he pro-life, just intellectually honest or both? I hadn’t heard he was pro-life. (I doubt Oprah would have a pro-life doctor as a regular on her show.) He may just be pragmatic, but I’ll take it.
Everyone must remember this about the embryonic stem cell issue: it’s not about “cures”, it’s about not assigning any human value to the unborn.
Same with the abortion issue - it’s not about keeping abortions legal, it’s about keeping abortions already performed and participated in guilt free.
Most vehement “pro-aborts” are really “had-aborts” who know what they did and spend the rest of their lives justifying it.
