GOP Aims Abortion Bill to Show Democrats Are The Social-Issues Extremists | National Review Online

Representative Paul Broun (R., Ga.) opposed the legislation because it made an exception for cases of rape and incest. Georgia Right to Life opposed the legislation because of the exceptions, and Broun decided on Monday to follow suit. He’s running for Senate, and the other Georgia primary candidates who are in Congress — Phil Gingrey and Jack Kingston — voted for the legislation.

I asked him if he thought the most pro-life position was to oppose the bill.

“I believe that we ought to try to protect the lives of children, and these are children,” he responded.

Dan Becker, from Georgia Right to Life, told me he thought Broun’s decision was courageous.
