Portland pediatric neurosurgeon Monica Wehby, continuing to separate herself from the four other Republican Senate candidates on the abortion issue, told a GOP forum in Baker City that she was personally pro-life but did not want the government involved in a woman's decision on whether to have one.
“I believe this is a personal decision between a women and her family, not a woman and the federal government,” said Wehby, according to the Baker City Herald.
Wehby and the four other Republican candidates -- state Rep. Jason Conger of Bend, Portland attorney Tim Crawley, former Linn County Chair Jo Rae Perkins and Salem information technology consultant Mark Callahan -- appeared at a Wednesday night forum. They are competing for the GOP nomination for the seat held by Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.
Her comments defending abortion rights were stronger than those that she made when she entered the race and told The Oregonian, “The Supreme Court ruled that...abortion is supposed to be safe and legal. And that’s where we are. I don’t think this should be used as a litmus test for people.”
Conger has been endorsed by Oregon Right to Life, the state's major anti-abortion group. Conger and Wehby are the two candidates who have raised the most money and appear to be the front-runners in the primary race.
I am a very pro-life person. I would never vote for Merkley.
Where are the stories about Conger?
Period.
Libertarians are libertarians, and support abortion with zero limitations, restraints, or time limits.
There are no principles in the libertarian agenda.
Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian curtain.
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
You folks will easily elect the next bunch of dems to our government. It is clearly what happened in the last election. Congratulations you got exactly what you wanted.
Was Bob Packwood the first abortion booster elected to the Senate from OR, even before Roe v. Wade.
So you mock Christians, the people who make up the conservative vote, and who you want to defeat in elections, what an idiot you must be.
No wonder you come to the support of this pro-abortion rino/libertarian.
Is murdering or raping someone a pesonal decision?
No. In any decent society, freedom comes with certain limits. Liberals want to overregulate our lives; libetarians think MOST limits are far too overbearing.
You must have a middle ground. Conservatism is the default position between the extremes of the statist left and the anarchist right.
if she doesn’t want govt involved, does she want govt paying for it, or forcing businesses to pay for healthcare plans that offer it?
>>Is murdering or raping someone a pesonal decision?<<
In the eyes of the GOPe not.
If you will stand for nothing you will fall for anything.
It seems to be working.
most people that don’t want to be judged by a certain test, know they’ll fail that test.
Of course not. Even if you favor abortion on demand, it does not follow others should be forced to pay for it.
Then its not really a personal and private decision, now is it?
If it were your daughter carrying a baby by way of rape you would not be so sure of yourself.
The hard core christian right are far worse than the left for not being tolerant of others. That is just a fact.
Sometimes you have to take what you can get and try for more next time. The hard core right just takes their ball and goes home pouting like a child. They scream and yell that is everyone else's fault because they don't go exactly by your god words.
No. I do not say your god words, go to your church or sit in your pew. Look around you there are not that many people in your church. Without the rest of us not one of your candidates will ever win an election.
I have not told you who I am, what I believe or anything about me but you do not need all of that to make your judgment. (isn't there some kind of writing about judging others and who should be doing it?) You made your entire judgment solely on the fact that I am not just like you.
And you were saying?????
All you have told me is that you are a DU escapee that hates Christians and conservatism and loves abortion and liberalism.
Do you ever wonder why almost everyone with your leftists views votes democrat, while about 80% of the Evangelicals that you hate, vote conservative?
I did not tell you that. You, not my friend, are a bold faced lair. Yes that is the accurate and correct term for you.
So now that we can all clearly see that I'm conversing with a liar I will continue.
Have I been on DU, yes I have. I get kicked off of there every time I do. It is just the mirrored reflection of FR. Over there if I do not repeat their secular humanism and socialist rant they like to make up things and lie about me too.
If you are pro second amendment then they call you a killer who just has not killed yet. Although I hate this kind of fantasy they are more honest about things than some are here.
You see over there they take credit for their beliefs while here many hide behind God so they do not have to have a logical and fact based discussion about a give subject.
What some here and some there share is the belief that no one can be right unless they totally agree with them.
Where it differs from DU to FR is that at DU they will come together to support the most liberal candidate that can win. Here, people politically castrate themselves jumping up on their high horse so they can preach to you and hide behind their God. Many here will not support any candidate who is not their chosen pew mate insuring that the liberals will win yet again.
After they cause the loss they will sit back and blame others for not being Godly enough.
You see I do not lie. I tell the truth. I am proudly a non God based moderate Republican. What scares the crap out of the far right and far left is that more than half of the voting population are in that middle moderate third politically.
The lesson that you should have learned in the last two presidential elections is that you have to deal with those who do not sit in your pew or you will just keep loosing. Every time you get a god hard right attack and sit out an election you will watch this country drift further to the left. That is your fault, plain and simple. You caused it, it is your fault.
The last thing you need to do is let your imagination get all ahead of you and think your hearing my voice telling you things I did not say, type, or take other credit for.
Your crystal ball is not even plugged in, you just do your best to label me with lies.
Let me rub some realistic sodium in that wound. Do you realize that there are many more Muslims on this earth than Christians? Every last one of them know they are right in their beliefs and know that you are wrong. You don't even have the majority on your side.
I do not sit back and just accept someone labeling me with their lies.
Problem is, they aren't voting.
The evidence is that in the last two Presidential elections they stayed home.
He keeps saying that all libertarians are just liberals. He's been repeatedly told they aren't. He doesn't care, and continues to misrepresent what libertarians believe.
Apparently he's unfamiliar with Proverbs. Yes, hands that shed innocent blood are an abomination to the Lord. So is a lying tongue.
Your pro-abortion/gay agenda anti-Reagan moderate just lost the presidential election, and was the first candidate to ever win the Independents hugely, and still lose, in an election that the GOP couldn't lose, against Jimmy Carter's second term.
It seems that you want to keep defeating conservatives and promoting liberalism.
So I will finish this. This part is just more bold faced lies. I have voted against the liberals in every election no matter who was running on the republican ticket. You are wrong and telling lies when you try and state you know how I voted.
And then you give me credit for hating evangelicals. I don't hate them, your words are just more lies based on your own limited political horizons.
80% of the evangelical voters can vote in a block for anyone they want but are totally unable, with just their own votes, to elect anyone to national office. You just made my point. You can not and will never win without the rest of the non god based conservatives out there.
If you want to come at me spouting crap and lies be my guest, but when your done, it is my turn.
