Frank Gilbert on Abortion | |
Gilbert: To save the mother's life and in cases of rape or incest.
Q: What in the nature of mankind caused America's Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Gilbert: Men tend to naturally consolidate power and then use/abuse it. The Constitution was designed to provide limits on such power and to provide the checks and balances that would keep one person or group from acquiring too much power.
A: Oppose. I believe life begins at conception, and growing medical and scientific advances support that view. If the unborn represents a life, we have an obligation to protect it. In providing such protection we take on extraordinary obligations to the mother. We must "make her whole" to the degree possible if we require her to carry a child to term or viability.
The American Family Association Action Voter Guide asked if candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.' American Family Association Action (AFA Action) produces the online "iVoterGuide" for selected state and federal races. The mission of AFA Action is to inform and mobilize individuals to strengthen the biblical foundations of America.
