I Really Love Sam Brownback

nullHe’s introduced yet another pro-life bill in the Senate:

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Sam Brownback, the Kansas senator and Republican presidential candidate, has introduced a new bill that would require abortion practitioners to perform an ultrasound and allow women contemplating an abortion to see the pictures of their unborn child. The hope is that it will persuade many women to keep their baby.

Says Brownback:

“I am hopeful that this bill will inform women and will cause a deeper reflection on the humanity of unborn children. It is important to promote a culture that values life in all stages”

I’m not certain, but I think Brownback is the only one I’ve heard talk about promoting and building a whole “culture of life.” The other candidates did have to weigh in, of course:

Mike Huckabee: “I’m pro-life and my attitude has always been if we’re going to take a position, take it on the side of preserving life,” he said. “Anytime we can help to highlight what an abortion is, that would be a good thing.”

John McCain: “Given the profound nature of a decision to end the life of an unborn child,” he said. “I believe the more information that can be provided to a woman struggling with the decision of whether or not to have an abortion, the better.”

Mitt Romney’s spokesperson: “Gov. Romney is pro-life…(He) believes that states should be free to place restrictions on abortion, and favors measures that protect the sanctity of life.”

And then there’s Rudy Giuliani: “The ultrasound proposal currently under consideration is a good example of a matter best left to the states to decide.”
