Quote:

BOONE — Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty, an Evangelical Christian who liberally sprinkled his autobiography with biblical verses and describes himself as “pro-life” on abortion, said Monday that he doesn’t think women who have abortions or doctors who perform them should be penalized criminally.

This morning, his staff clarified that position, saying Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, wants to see abortion providers penalized, possibly criminally, but not mothers — should his pro-life view prevail and abortion turn from the generally legal procedure it is today to a prohibited act.

In an interview that touched on the topics of rural economic development and abortion after an event at the Pizza Ranch in Boone Memorial Day afternoon Pawlenty said he didn’t have a specific penalty in mind for abortion. But Pawlenty, a former state legislative leader and attorney with experience as a prosecutor, offered an initial take on the question.

“I don’t think we want to make it a criminal sanction but I think there should be some kind of penalty or consequence, but we don’t have a specific proposal as to what that would be,” Pawlenty told the Daily Times Herald.



Now that's taking a bold and principled stand!

"Yeah, it should be a crime, and people should be punished, but we don't want to make it a criminal sanction or punish people for it, or maybe punish the providers." That is Tim Pawlenty's stance. Or at least it was four days ago. He's probably changed that oatmeal-like mush he calls his mind another dozen times since then!




"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservatives." - John Stuart Mill

Yeah, the crazy word-salad answers that come out of these people are just amazing.

By the way, Palin doubled down on her idiocy about Paul Revere - but let's put that in another post, shall we?

Thank you for that; I just came back to see if there was anything interesting, and started to ask what Palin had said, when I remembered seeing a new topic and found it. What can I say beyond "Duh????" Or with a sad shake of the head "Amazing..."
