| Quote: | Carter condemns abortion culture
By Ralph Z. Hallow
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
November 4, 2005
Former President Jimmy Carter yesterday condemned all abortions and chastised his party for its intolerance of candidates and nominees who oppose abortion.
"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 the Ritz-CarltonHotel, while across town Senate Democrats deliberated whether to filibuster the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. because he may share President Bush and Mr. Carter's abhorrence of abortion.
"These things impact other issues on which [Mr. Bush] and I basically agree," the Georgia Democrat said. "I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion."
Mr. Carter said his party's congressional leadership only hurts Democrats by making a rigid pro-abortion rights stand the criterion for assessing judicial nominees.
"I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues," Mr. Carter said. "I think our party's leaders -- some of them -- are overemphasizing the abortion issue."
While Mr. Carter has previously expressed ambivalence about abortion, his statements yesterday were "astonishing," said Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute at Concerned Women for America . "He has long professed to be an evangelical Christian and yet he had embraced virtually all the liberal political agenda," said Mr. Knight. "Maybe with Jimmy Carter saying things he never uttered before, more liberals will rethink their worship of abortion as the high holy sacrament of liberalism."

Ahh Nutso, it is nice to see you around and about. I do love your perspective.
This Carter thing is a bit much. Somewhere I read yesterday.... some Islamic website that 'diplomatic Immunity' does not apply in Muslim governed nations.
In the late 70's the Iranian revolutionary guard bombed the Iranian Embassy in London, they held hostage our entire Embassy staff in Tehran. Next the bombing of our Embassy in London.... some years later the bombing of three Embassies in Africa.
Mr. Carter did little but offer up a ill conceived plan to rescue the hostages, which when it failed put our entire military in a funk not surfaced from till after the victory of expelling Hussein from Iraq.
It is no wonder Jimmi now wants to talk about abortion, as it dissuades from the fact that he governed, and appeased over the era which first saw this World War of Islam come to light.
I can't wait to hear if any of the ultra liberal left who champion Carter and also Champion abortion rights will speak up against this statement at all.
Nutso, I knowing your highly developed sense of humor think you might find this link interesting. Be warned it is highly graphic and you'd best not have any food in your mouth or be holding a coffee cup at the time of viewing. It's a ''real player' video of dubious production:
