But there is a big difference between material cooperation in evil--which everyone does without knowing it--and doing what Frist does, which is to knowingly keep stock that helps him profit from abortion.
If you believe that Clinton was bad just because of his total shallowness and lack of character, then you should have some questions about a senator who makes money off abortions and claims to be pro-life, in spite of his own statements during his 1994 election campaign.
Now should I give up this client? What would you suggest? Should I be prohibited from hold a position of power in the government for that?
I also have another client that builds the aiplanes that were used to crash into the World Trade Center. So I guess I profited from that as well, huh?
How far do you want to go with this?
Abortion is legal. We need to work to change the law. If abortions were not legal then the Hospitals that Frist has invested in would not be allowed to perform these abortions. I don't think Frist would shed a tear if that happened. I would imagine from what I've heard of Frist that he would prefer that abortion was extremely restricted.
Regardless, based upon his voting record, I would have to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he fails in getting conservative judges appointed, then we can work to pull the plug on him and move to get someone more palatable.
