Unfortunately I did sit through last night’s Republican presidential debate on Fox News and if there was a winner I sure couldn’t tell. I hate to say it, but I was pretty uninspired by most of the answers on all issues. I loved Sam Brownback’s answer when he was asked what he would say to a rape victim who found herself pregnant and the reference to Mike Huckabee’s statement that Giuliani “hating” abortion while respecting a woman’s right to choose is like hating slavery, but understanding that some people feel differently (yes, Rudy, the analogy is accurate). The only other answer I really enjoyed was Huckabee(?)’s call for the fair tax plan. I am all for that one!! Otherwise nothing really got me excited about voting next year. AHH! Maybe I’m just in a cranky mood but at this point I’m not looking forward to 2008 at all. There are some very good pro-life candidates on the board, I just wish there was more support behind them. Hopefully that will come in due time. In the meantime, I will continue do my best to encourage support for candidates who will fight for the rights of every U.S. citizen, including the unborn. Why is this important? Mark Pickup answers:
Universal human rights, like the Right to Life, are just that: Universal. They apply to everyone, not just some. The Right to Life is the first and highest human right. With out it guaranteed, all other rights become arbitrary and uncertain.
