Wade, and appears he will make it a litmus test if he were elected president. When asked whether he would appoint a nominee who would overturn the Roe decision, Gephardt said, "I don't think I would, because I'd put on people who had proper respect for the precedents of the court, and the court has said that choice is the law of the land." Gephardt made the comments in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation." He also said that if elected, he would sign legislation banning partial-birth abortions -- only if it included an exception for the health of the mother. Pro-life organziations oppose such an exception because it renders the law meaningless by allowing abortion practitioners to determine that any abortion is "necessary" to protect a woamn's mental or physical "health." Gephardt opposed abortion early in his Congressional career, but changed his position as he rose to national prominence within the Democratic Party. He stated his support for abortion before his first presidential run in 1988. At a NARAL fundraising dinner in January attended by all of the Democratic presidential candidates, Gephardt explained how he changed his position on the issue in 1986 after 10 years in Congress. He said his Baptist upbringing taught him abortion was morally wrong, but some women who had had abortions convinced him it was a choice for them to make with God. ``There is nothing moral in strong-arming a personal belief, and there is nothing moral to a presidency that imposes personal morality through acts of government power,'' he said. Gephardt said he favored passing a federal law to guarantee abortion rights even if the Supreme Court should overturn the Roe decision. --- Life Cycle Books is North America's premier source of pro-life and abstinence before marriage educational materials.
