McCain and the pro-life plank

by Jill Stanek

On May 9 ABC News unearthed disturbing footage from a 2000 Republican primary debate between John McCain, Alan Keyes, and George Bush showing McCain's surly pro-abortion side. View the video below:

McCain provoked President Bush on the exceptions they share: rape, incest. He tried to corner President Bush as a liar or hypocrite since he supported the pro-life plank of the Republican platform, which backed a human life amendment to the Constitution.

Is segregation and owning slaves a States' Rights issue? They are also intrinsic moral evils.
Do you believe the scientific fact that a HUMAN BEING is created when the human ovum and human sperm unite in fertilization? Do you think it is a chicken or a panda or what? Do you understand the first sentence, second paragraph in the Declaration of Independence?
Do you think that innocent children (born and/or unborn) should be put to death because one of their parents is a criminal who rapes and/or commits incest? How about children who have a parent who robs people or does murder for hire? Should only very young children, whose parents are criminals be put to death or should we include teenagers? Should we execute parents who raise criminals?
