Re: Carter condemns abortion culture

Andy asked: What will our pro-abortion friends think of J.C. now???

Well, I don't know who your 'pro-abortion' friends are, but if you're referring to pro-choice folks, I'd say they would most likely agree with Mr. Carter on his points expressed within this Washington Times piece.

I watched part of an interview with Mr. Carter on PBS yesterday and he touched on a lot of the same sentiments expressed in this article. What I took away from it was that while he feels that abortion is inherently wrong, we as a culture aren't doing our best to minimize it but are doing a great job of condemning it. One of his points included a discussion of a successful awareness campaign in Uganda dubbed 'ABC,' conceived to combat the spread of AIDS and to encourage family planning; 'ABC' stands for 'abstinence,' 'be faithful,' and 'condom use,' and is emphasized in that order. Carter expressed that President Bush's 'abstinence only' campaigns are unrealistic thus ineffective in our own culture and arguably more so abroad. Carter is principled Christian man, yet fully realistic about human nature. I can respect that.
