Minnesota State Senator Tarryl Clark is a candidate for Minnesota's 6th congressional district currently held by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Clark, a Democrat backed by Emily's List (whose mission, as stated on emilyslist.org, is to build "a progressive America by electing pro-choice Democratic women to office") is fighting to represent a district that has historical been anti-abortion. Clark seems to be skirting the subject of abortion. There is a noticeable omission of "abortion" on the "Issues" page of Clark's website (www.tarrylclark.com). In an interview with Eric Black, recorded on www.minnpost.com, Clark responded to questions about her stand on abortion by talking about preventing unwanted pregnancies, as seen in the following transcript:
Me(Eric Black): "You are pro-choice, I take it?"
Clark: "I have worked hard to reduce abortions. I will continue to do that. The three things we can and should be doing -- and I think most people agree with this -- is to reduce unwanted pregnancies, increase adoptions, help with family stability issues. We can eliminate 90-95 percent of all abortions and it would be good to have representation that understands and has actually worked on those issues..."
Me: "But you nonetheless do support a woman’s right to choose?"
Clark: "If somebody wants to be voting for someone who’s going to reduce abortion, I’m the one with a track record..."
Me: "But there’s a basic question that you’re dancing around. For people who are interested in the basic pro-life, pro-choice division..."
Clark: "We can eliminate 90-95 percent of all abortions but then at the end of the day you want it to be rare, safe and legal."
Make no mistake about it. Even though Clark is playing down the fact, she is pro-abortion. Emily's List does not support candidates who are pro-life.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, the current representative from Minnesota's 6th congressional district, is pro-life, and she does not hide her stand. Bachmann's website (bachmann.house.gov) posts the following: "Additionally, I firmly believe the right to life extends to all people – including the born and unborn. I am a member of the bi-partisan Congressional Prayer Caucus and believe that our nation must never be ashamed of its Judeo-Christian roots and faith." Bachmann's rating from the National Right to Life Committee on pro-life voting is 100%.
Please pray for Representative Bachmann to be reelected in the November election. There are few pro-life women in our House of Representatives; our country does not need to lose this voice for the unborn.
May God have mercy on our nation.

Are you afilliated with the Bachmann candidate?
ReplyDeleteHave you been paid money to start this blog?
What motive have you to not put your full name behind the things you publish? Wouldn't that be a thing to build credibility, instead of doubt?
Otherwise, you are a flak, fearful of divulging your identity.
Eric, I am not affiliated with Representative Bachmann, nor have I been paid money to start this blog. Since I am not famous, I don't see that giving my name establishes any credibility. I am just an American who is greatly saddened by the legal killing of unborn human beings in our nation.
