Wouldn’t you like to hear the answers of “pro-choice” politicians to these questions?

Pro-abortion Barack Obama

Hold the presses: pro-life candidates are fiercely grilled, “pro-choice” candidates are treated with kid gloves. Okay, nothing new there.

But, on the off-chance reporters actually asked pro-abortion candidates real questions, rather than lobbing softballs, what might they ask? Trevin Wax, Managing editor of The Gospel Project, posted a wonderful article yesterday titled “10 Questions a Pro-Choice Candidate Is Never Asked by the Media.”

You can read the article in its entirety at http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevinwax/2012/10/24/10-questions-a-pro-choice-candidate-is-never-asked-by-the-media. What follows are a sample of the ten questions you never hear asked:

* In 2010, The Economist featured a cover story on “the war on girls” and the growth of “gendercide” in the world – abortion based solely on the sex of the baby. Does this phenomenon pose a problem for you or do you believe in the absolute right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy because the unborn fetus is female?

* In many states, a teenager can have an abortion without her parents’ consent or knowledge but cannot get an aspirin from the school nurse without parental authorization. Do you support any restrictions or parental notification regarding abortion access for minors?

*  If you do not believe that human life begins at conception, when do you believe it begins? At what stage of development should an unborn child have human rights?

*  You describe abortion as a “tragic choice.” If abortion is not morally objectionable, then why is it tragic? Does this mean there is something about abortion that is different than other standard surgical procedures?

* Do you believe abortion should be legal once the unborn fetus is viable – able to survive outside the womb?

Wouldn’t you love to hear “personally opposed/between a woman and her doctor” politicians answer some of those inquiries?
