In other words, they oppose freedom of choice even in the event the mother was raped and in cases of incest. Follow some links and you realize she even opposes in cases where the mother's life is in danger.
The article as a whole focuses primarily on Senate candidates, which makes sense. Senators, after all, are the ones who vote for Supreme Court justices, likely the only people with the power to impose these kinds of archaic restrictions.
But RNC for Life spokesperson Dianne Edmondson make special note of four House candidates who were especially exciting candidates to watch, and Adams was among them. I've written before about Adams' extreme views on other constitutional issues. I'm sure more will come up, but here is a list so far.
- Adams opposes direct election of U.S. Senators, preferring the Legislature take the reins there.
- Adams wants to repeal the amendment which created the federal income tax.
- Adams opposes a woman's right to choose, even in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the mother's health.
And you though the Tea Party was all about upholding the constitution. Turns out that includes one particular reading of it, and not a complete one at that.
Now, it's no secret Democrat Suzanne Kosmas is among the most endangered incumbents in the U.S. House. An NRCC-funded internal poll released last week shows Adams beating Kosmas 49-37. But can a candidate this extreme really be considered as a reasonable alternative?
