BUSH & ABORTION by Darrell Row

"But what about abortion? Isn’t George Bush pro-life, and wouldn’t John Kerry do everything in his power to advance the culture of death? Kerry was recently quoted as saying “I oppose abortion personally. ... I believe life does begin at conception.” The logical implication is that every time Senator Kerry has voted to fund abortion with public money that he has voted to fund the killing of human beings. Kerry has also voted against legislation requiring parental consent or notification for a minor to get an abortion. Truly, Senator Kerry cannot be described as “pro-life.”

"But what of the President? Andrew Sandlin says Bush has justifiably become a hero to Evangelical Christians because, “He has been an unflagging champion of the pro-life position, and he eagerly signed Congress’ legislation banning partial-birth abortion (Clinton had twice vetoed it).”

"Pro-lifers like Sandlin point to the ban on partial birth abortion to burnish Bush’s anti-abortion credentials. The cold, hard fact is that the ban has not and will not save a single life. As Jim Rudd and others have pointed out, the legislation, which will almost certainly be overturned by the courts, does not mention “Intact Dilation and Extraction” (D&X abortion). Since the act does not use this official medical term, the D&X procedure is not really banned by the legislation. Moreover, the very language of the ban encourages abortionists to kill the child in the womb with poison since the act only restricts activities performed on a “living baby.” So if an abortionist first kills the baby and THEN performs the D&X procedure, the ban does not apply."

"Another piece of evidence proffered by Bush’s pro-life supporters is that he re-instituted Reagan’s Mexico City policy thereby denying taxpayer dollars to organizations that promote abortion overseas. However, Bush soon began to lift those restrictions beginning in 2003. The LA Times reported on February 16, 2003 that “In a major policy shift, President Bush has decided to allow social service agencies in Africa and the Caribbean to receive U.S. funds under his $15 billion emergency AIDS relief plan even if they promote family planning and provide abortions, White House officials said.” As William Jasper wrote at the time, “George Bush has out-Clintoned Bill Clinton. The Clinton-Gore team (or any other Democrat-controlled White House, for that matter) could not have come close to getting most congressmen behind such an enormous and outrageous pro-abortion, anti-family foreign aid scheme. But with the Bush White House fervently supporting this UN boondoggle and providing cover, congressional Republicans jumped on board the global gravy train, eager to burnish their compassion credentials.”

"In 2004, there is only one full-fledged pro-lifer running for the White House—Michael Peroutka."
