Media Coverage of McCain Distorts His Opposition to Abortion

lifenews.com — Associated Press and Gannett News Service reported that McCain would not seek a constitutional amendment banning abortion. However, George Stephanopoulos said to McCain: "You're for a constitutional amendment banning abortion with some exceptions for life and rape and incest." McCain replied: "Rape, incest, and the life of the mother, yes."

Yobotz, on 06/12/2008, -2/+6Unlike McCain, independent presidential candidate Alan Keyes is against ALL abortion. He says a prenatal baby should not have to die because her father violated her mother by rape or incest.

MrsSpooky, on 06/13/2008, -0/+3Sounds hopeful. Maybe I WILL vote McCain. Why couldn't we get Alan Keyes?
- Yobotz, on 06/14/2008, -0/+5We can get Alan Keyes. Let's not count the votes before they're cast. Alan Keyes is running for President.

  - nancyu, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3I found this article confusing. A human life amendment can not include exceptions for rape and incest or the health of the mother. An unborn child is a person (PERIOD)
lazerus9, on 06/13/2008, -0/+4You must read: "The War Against The Weak" by Edwin Black.
It exposes the history of the Eugenics movement worldwide and exactly who finances and promotes this Eugenics/Abortion pseudo-religion. The abortion industry is just the tip of the iceberg of a far more sinister human elimination program!

  Pretty frightening.
  - lazerus9, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1It gets much worse as the accounts begin to uncover a global program to eradicate whole populations, not just a few isolated hillbillies.
    The problem with only focusing on the issue of abortion you are overlooking how it is being financed by a psychopathic elite driving world population control and selective breeding programs.I strongly recommend reading the book, it will change the way you view the so called "benevolent foundations" that have become synonymous with "world health issues".
Yobotz, on 06/15/2008, -0/+3Alan Keyes: Abortion Amendment Not Needed, Constitution Protects Unborn

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Alan Keyes is the forgotten Republican presidential candidate in this election cycle as his late entry allowed other hopefuls to secure support from elements of the pro-life community.

However, the former ambassador is campaigning on his deeply-felt pro-life views and, in a new interview, discusses a human life amendment.

Keyes tells WorldNetDaily that his first priority if elected president would be to make sure the executive branch of government recognizes the Constitution requires a respect for human life.

"My first priority would be to re-establish within the executive branch respect for and protection of the unalienable rights of the unborn children in the womb," he said.

He wants to make sure "nothing was done by the executive branch of the United States that violated the Constitution of the United States in his regard."

There has been significant debate in the Republican presidential primary about a Human Life Amendment -- as some candidates have said they support it but others note the votes are not present in Congress to move the idea forward.

Keyes says he backs a human life amendment but explained to WorldNetDaily that it's unnecessary.

"It is already clear in the Constitution that the ultimate aim of our government is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," he told WND.

"Our posterity, including of course the elemental part of posterity that lies in the womb, is placed by the Constitution on an equal level with ourselves in terms of the claims to liberty," Keyes added.

"So the question is answered right there in the Constitution, and we simply need to respect that answer," he said.

nancyu, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3If McCain insists on allowing exception for rape and incest, and the health of the mother, I will not vote for him. Even if it risks allowing Obama to win. Obama is weak, we can take him by changing attitudes from the bottom up. I will vote for Keyes unless McCain learns to speak louder for the unborn persons of our nation.

An unborn child is a person. This is a fact, and there are no exceptions.
