That's what I heard. "Believe" in abortion, but do nothing to "force" your views on others as long as they don't take your money.
The real issue is now very simple. Todd Akin is the winner of the primary and Todd Akin has said he is staying in the race. Period. Huckabee has sided with him, as well as the leaders mentioned in this article, and they are helping him fund-raise.
So, do you continue, R69, trying to kill your candidate for the Senate or do you back off and start supporting him?
He IS the conservative candidate. That will not change.
I said I personally am pro-life.
If a woman has an abortion early in her pregnancy- I believe that is WRONG, but I am not the one who will stand before God to answer for it - she will.
As far as later in the pregnancy, when the baby can live outside of the womb, I feel that society should step in to save the LIFE of that innocent baby. It is pure infanticide.
Neither stand changes the fact that Akin is an idiot and unfit to be a Senator. Akin won because there were so many people in the race and because McCaskill and her ilk were giving him money.
R69 has a rather strange, but all too common view of being pro- life. He supports the wholesale extermination of innocent life but because he doesn’t want to fund it through cumpulsory tax revenues, his conscience is clear and he thinks God will number him with people like Mother Theresa when he stands before God.
Aiken is a perfect example of why conservatives, pro-life supporters included, keep losing to radical anti-life leftists. We are willing to go down with a sinking ship "because it's the right thing to do".
If Aiken causes MO to go with McCaskil and possibly obama we can lose this election. Does anyone think that with a Rat Senate and obama in the WH that anything will be done to fight abortion? I don't care how right Aiken is in his position on abortion. If he is not smart enough to answer loaded questions he needs to go. The war is bigger than one man.
Try thinking about what's at stake. If obama hangs on, or the Senate stays in Rat hands, obamacare stays in place. If this happens we not only have to pay for abortions, but we see our freedom to practice our faith limited to the 4 walls of a church on Sunday.
If Aiken really values life he should step down.
