Yes, I believe that someone can have a change of heart on abortion. Many people have, including abortionists. I hope and pray Frist is with us. I looked at his pro-life rating, and it's solid over the last two years.
Still, there is evidence that HCA provides abortions at some of their hospitals. I don't believe Frist should be profiting off these abortions. I will continue to look into this, particularly if he is elected Majority Leader.
Finally, there are other good people mentioned as being up for Leader like Santorum and Inhofre (sp??). I think they should be looked at as well.
God bless.
You are probably right. As others on these threads have pointed out, if they are public hospitals or receive public funding (for instance, HCA/Wesley seems to be a teaching hospital for the University of Kansas), they may be required by law to permit abortions. But this is not a corporation founded to provide abortion services, and they have gone out of their way to restrict such services when possible (see other posts on this thread for more detail.)
As I pointed out on my last post, if Frist did divest his stock in HCA, according to the other sources you cited, he would only be able to invest in Dominos Pizza or Carl's Junior - to invest in practically any other public corporation in America would be supporting abortion, according to them.
Inhofe is supporting Frist, and Santorum decided not to run for the post. IF someone else declares an interest, I would be happy to look at them. I am not a Frist partisan, but he would make a good ML, as would several others. But so far, Frist is the only one running.
