I am a purist. I want the laws to ban all abortion and all abortifacients. I want IVF banned. I want all embryonic stem cell lines destroyed and creation of new lines banned. I want embryo experimentation banned.
But I would also compromise in a heartbeat to support imperfect laws that truly advanced any of these bans.
When it comes to issues of life:
Morality - no compromise
Biology/Science - objective facts
Policy - prudence that factors in morality and biology
Prudence does not equal selling out.
I agree with this...but, when it comes to discussions of policy, I want my candidates to be clear and plain-speaking. Overall, I believe that this IS prudent.
;-)
And I still believe that the answer selected on the Right to Life questionnaire was neither moral nor prudent.
The very fact that so many people are talking about this and what it means is proof of that. (Think back about Matthew 5:37.....and there are many similar scriptures.)
