Mr. Gardner has spent the last month of his campaign trying to explain his position on abortion. Someone on his campaign staff should advise him to either stop digging the hole or yank the shovel out of his hands.
His plan was to renounce the Personhood Amendment and thereby let voters, especially women voters,assume he is now pro choice without saying it publicly and thereby retain the support of the pro-life voters.
Things haven't quite worked out the way he planned. Renouncing the Personhood amendment only meant he no longer supported one suggested vehicle to attain the anti-abortion – anti-women movement's dream of ending once and for all, all abortions under all circumstances. In reality he hoped the voters, again especially women voters, would make the assumptions he wanted them to make and he could cruise past this issue without any questions being asked. Instead he has made one of the classic campaign errors. He ha smade himself the issue. Never a good thing for a candidate. He has spent the last four weeks trying to get out from under all of this by one day stating his position on abortion and Personhood is the same as former Denver Archbishop Chaput's,; then a few days later stating tha this position on abortion is the same as former Republican Congressman Bob Schafer's and finally the other day admitting that he is pro-life while continuing to remain a co-sponsor of the federal Personhood Amendment in the US. House of Representatives. Bottom line: Mr. Gardner is pro life and will vote to abolish a woman's right to an abortion under any circumstances, including by making a criminal out of a doctor who performs an abortion.
If his record doesn't support that position, he needs to answer the following questions:
1. Mr. Gardner, do you support a woman's right to choose whether to have an abortion?
2. Mr. Gardner, do you support a woman's right to have an abortion in the case of incest?
3. Mr. Gardner, do you support a woman's right to have an abortion in the case of rape?
4. Mr. Gardner, do you support a woman's right to have an abortion performed by a medical doctor?
The time has come for Mr. Gardner to answer those questions. that time is now.
Sheesh, that's a no-brainer — the GOP proposed healthcare bill will cover board-certified coathangers for just such occasions.
