How do we work together Democrats and Republicans -- -- face to accomplish that mission so the principles He would not -- an -- to outlaw abortion . Well as a pro life Catholic. My goal is not principally to say we need to get. Down into the weeds of the legal system. I think what we need to do father is that we need to look at the social contacts and social situations. That lead to abortion . We can have this thirty year debate that we've had. That is amounted to gridlock in Washington DC and nothing happens on the abortion issue. Or we can approach it with what many of us. Committed. Public services have done with a brand new proposal called 9510. How do we reduce the abortion rate by 95%. Over the next ten years and do it with two strong proposals. Forming to gather the river to accomplishme ask ago as a Catholic. Professed Catholic. If you don't support pro choice candidate and you kind of have obviously wanna reduce abortions that's what you say publicly and certainly I believe that. Do you have problems with the institutional church the bishops saying you can't in your positions say that publicly because it's not extreme enough. Well two very important questions to -- -- from from from that I think father one is why I support. Barack Obama even though we'd. We differ a little bit on the abortion question. Ultimately I think we agree that we have to reduce abortions in this country and he's committed to doing that. But what I see is a Catholic -- agendas that involves an addition to abortion . Just war. Helping the poor. What are we gonna do -- -- how -- we take care God's earth all of us do this all of the life issues immigration.

Romney's Abortion Viewsa change of on the issue of abortion you were pro choice then. I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in Castro has suggested. Remain a pro choice state. This is not about punishment it relates to the issue of abortion .
You've also described a change of -- on the issue of abortion you were pro choice then. I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US senate candidate for pro life. Now. So do you now believe that abortion is murder. That abortion is taking -- -- taking human life. There's no question but that human life begins when all the DNA is that are necessary for cells are divided becoming human being. Is alive yes is -- human yes so if if abortion as the taking of -- life. Should women who have abortions. And doctors who perform them be jailed. Now what my viewright course just personally what you believe the punishment should be on abortion . I'm not not about punishment that's not what I'm considering -- in my view we should let the states make that decision. And I'm in favor of life in favor of choosing life. So you're not gonna say what the punishment should I don't don't Begin to have any idea for what a particular State's decision should be I think the provisionally go -- state you have -- have some like well our state is overwhelmingly pro choice state and Massachusetts would surely under the Castro has suggested. Remain a pro choice state. This is not about punishment this is about allowing states to make a decision an issue of great moral significance to a lot of people. And I think state by state we should allow Federalist approach as it relates to the issue of abortion . -
Tougher Abortion Law in Missouri Spurs Debatemakes almost all of the abortion clinics subject to strict ambulatory clinic. But pro choice advocates say these requirements make it harder to get an abortion . So we have some guests issue is Angela national pro choice organization in New York
in Missouri that will force at least two of the State's three abortion clinics to close. This law makes almost all of the abortion clinics subject to strict new regulations which will supposedly make them safer. They must have whiter always raise ceilings and well -- surgical suites like any other ambulatory clinic. But pro choice advocates say these requirements have nothing to do with protecting women's health. That they're designed simply to make it harder to get an abortion . So we have some guests not to talk about this here to discuss the issue is Angela -- -- -- -- national pro choice organization in New York. And Mike Johnson the attorney for the alliance defense fund an organization that supports the law in Missouri.taken into account and protected. We do not support regulations that target abortion providers which is what we have in this case. Abortion clinics -- are -- regulated. We have the same standards that we apply to other physicians performing similar surgeries with these. With these regulations essentially are part of the anti choice agenda. What they're trying to do is make it clinics go out of business that women don't have -- option their constitutional right to obtain abortion services. Mike let me get your response that existed just a thinly veiled way to shut down abortion clinics. Absolutely not these regulations are common sense. Laws designed to protect public health and women's safety -- -- All that all but this law does is treat abortion providers just like any other ambulatory surgical center there is no reason they should be exempt from the law. And Planned Parenthood and they were all in all the rest of the the groups that have an agenda here. Are arguing that that abortion providers should be treated differently. That they should for some reason be above the law. And there's just no reason for thathave acted in. And enacted these reasonable common sense laws to regulate abortion providers in some states it was the last unregulated industry in a state like Louisiana my home state we had this this same battle about eight years ago. And the state prevailed that the courts upheld their right to regulate abortion providers because we had documented. The use of rusted surgical instruments filthy conditions inside the clinics and the court said this makes no sense we've got to protect women's health. Regardless of where you stand on the issue of abortion every citizen auto agree that public health is worth defending final thought -- -- I just is that this is absolutely red Herring these regulations are not based on hearings that show complaint CT issues -- that are -- They're always launched consistently in every state that we've -- -- they're targeted at abortion providers. And He consistently. Are put forward by anti choice council members legislators who -- is putting it that the initiative forward specifically to put abortion clinics out of business. We both -- abortion provider should be treated the same as other doctors and in many physicians have testified that. Private practice physicians performing the same type. Very -- invasive surgeries it's the safest procedure in all of surgeries in the nation. And they actually want to go ahead and make abortion providers have to -- -- different standards. And we're simply saying that should not be the case especially when it means that. -

And we endorse legislation to make it clear that the fourteenthamendment. That is an amendment to the constitution that would. Essentially outlaw abortion nationwide and not leave it up to the states is that right that he. That's exactly right. And you know that is a big problem for Romney because he's developing a reputation here that -- -- on who's asking the question what they want to hear he gives a different answer. -- campaign tries to explain it is that he sees this in two stages -- overturn Roe vs. -- and in that stage you allow the states to go around when. And then as support for banning abortion nation -- develops and eventually go towards nationwide ban abortion . The problem is though that somehow Romney talks about it because -- people that full possession and instead this is telling them -

And I concluded that I would support the law as it was a place effectively a pro choice position. And I was wrong. What became clear to me during this whole cloning debate is how the harsh logic. Of an absolute right to abortion . Had cheapened the value of human life to the point that rational people. Saw a human embryo as nothing more than merepromised to maintain the status quo. With regards to laws related to abortion a Massachusetts. Of course I kept that promise. But think about that in Massachusetts.
