Princeton Prof & Author of "Embryo" on McCain

The Philadelphia Inquirer published a commentary by Robert P. George, Princeton's McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and the author of "Embryo: A Defense of Human Life," on Sunday.

The op-ed, here, was entitled "McCain is a good friend to the unborn: Despite some disagreements, he is generally -- and reliably -- pro-life." It was prominently displayed and ran with this prominently displayed illustration:

Professor George made a strong case for pro-life support of John McCain in this year's presidential election. Here's one gem from his commentary:

Few elections in our lifetime have been as consequential for the pro-life cause as this year's is likely to be. The next president will likely determine the course of the Supreme Court for decades to come, and will make the difference between continuing the progress made by the pro-life movement in the past three decades or reversing course and reinforcing a culture of abortion and embryo destruction that rejects fundamental human equality.

All pro-lifers, especially those concerned about McCain's stance on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, will find something worthwhile in reading the entire commentary from an unapologetic pro-life academic and defender of the unborn.

There is no doubt that pro-lifers must vote for McCain, but we all, including Robert George, did have a much better choice before Huckabee was eliminated. I have lost respect for those who didn't support Huckabee when they had the opportunity.

No one who supports, defends or condones the destruction of even a single embryonic person - even to benefit the health of another person - can honestly claim to be pro-life or deserve to be called such by anyone else (even if such a person were strongly opposed to every other crime against the sanctity of human life).
