The Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life women’s organization, has put forward a pledge for presidential candidates to sign by which they promise that if elected they will only appoint pro-life judges and cabinet members and will promote legislation to restrict abortion. All of the current Republican candidates have signed it except for Gary Johnson, Herman Cain, and Mitt Romney. (That includes the Ron Paul, who may be libertarian but is still pro-life.) Johnson is pro-abortion. Cain and Romney still claim to be pro-life, but Cain says the president shouldn’t be promoting legislation and Romney says he doesn’t want his hands tied in appointing a cabinet. See Report: Romney Refuses to Sign Pro-Life Pledge – Pro-Life – Fox Nation.
Do you think the pledge is reasonable and a good tactic for pro-lifers? Does this help you narrow your presidential choice?
