Former President Jimmy Carter Blasts Democrats for Supporting Abortion
Why is Carter now proclaiming his pro-life position for all to hear? Where was he leading up to the last
two elections? We sure could have used his statement back then. Is it age? Are the "Pearly Gates" fastly
approaching? I guess it's better late than never.
However, the last I heard, talk is still cheap.
I am wondering who he voted for, Democrat pro-abortion Kerry, or Bush.
As I have always said, to Democrats, the party comes first and children in the womb last, hence, they
deserve the title, "The Party of Death."

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Former President Jimmy Carter yesterday condemned all abortions and took his
party to task for its strong pro-abortion position. He said his Christian faith compels him to oppose abortion
because it takes a human life.
"I never have felt that any abortion should be committed -- I think each abortion is the result of a series of
errors," he told reporters over breakfast at a Washington hotel.
The comments came while senators across town were meeting with Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito and debating
whether his position on abortion should compel them to oppose his nomination.
"These things impact other issues on which [Mr. Bush] and I basically agree," the former president said of his
abortion stance. "I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would
approve abortion."
Carter said leaders in the Democratic Party have hurt it because of their insistence on a rigid pro-abortion
stance within the party and for party leadership positions.
"I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues,"
Carter said, according to a Washington Times report. "I think our party's leaders -- some of them -- are
overemphasizing the abortion issue."
