Former President Jimmy Carter Blasts Democrats for Supporting Abortion
Washington, DC (www.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.”
