IN the NEWS - Jimmy Carter on Abortion

Did not he that made me in the womb make him? Job 31:15
"A prominent author and professor of American history says he believes many Democrats are pro-life and affirm the views of former Democratic President Jimmy Carter but are afraid to speak out. 

John Fea, professor of American history at Messiah College in Grantham, Pa., and author of multiple books, wrote on his blog April 3 that there “are a lot of pro-life Democrats out there who would agree with Carter.” 
Carter served from 1977-1981, shortly after the infamous Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. 
I never have believed that Jesus Christ would approve of abortions and that was one of the problems I had when I was president having to uphold Roe v. Wade, and I did everything I could to minimize the need for abortions,” Carter said in 2012 on The Laura Ingraham radio show. LifeNews first reported the comments. 
I made it easy to adopt children, for instance, who were unwanted and also initiated the program called Women and Infant Children or WIC program, that’s still in existence now. But except for the times when a mother’s life is in danger or when a pregnancy is caused by rape or incest I would certainly not or never have approved of any abortions.”
The Democratic Party, Carter said at the time, has gone too far on abortion rights."
