Responding to questions on abortion from Larry King last night on ‘Larry King Live,’ Republican Presidential candidate George W. Bush declared that “the American people need to be led toward life.” Bush also spoke of respecting differences of opinion on the issue of abortion within the party and the possibility of “common ground” on issues such as parental notification, partial-birth, and adoption.
Bush went on further to say “people have got to understand that abortion is not a contraceptive. We should not have abortions on demand, that partial-birth abortion is dealing with a live child.”
