This is from a man who supported Roe v Wade, and still does. And he was the leader of the USA for four years. He calls aborting baby girls “murder” in sex-selection abortions, but not in other abortions where the killing is for other reasons. It’s not that I am singling out Carter. All of our presidents that had to deal with the issue (including Kennedy before Roe v Wade) have been unable (unwilling) to conform to reality and affirm “life” for the pre-born babies. They have all been opportunists that hate to deal with reality when it is inconvenient. And they all were elected (including the infanticide defender Obama) by Catholic voters. It is not that they do not know when a human being comes into existence, anyone with common sense knows that, it is that they refuse to protect all the living from murder in the womb. Such a one is the self- contradictory Carter. Being president is more important than being just.

“I would say the one that concerns me the most is the murder of little baby girls, the aborting of them when they’re found to be female,” he said, referring to the practice of sex-selective abortion in countries where there is a preference for sons.
“That’s about the most horrendous of all the problems we’re facing,” he said in a telephone interview. More here.
