Pro-Life?
Tom Coburn, a former member of the House of Representatives from Oklahoma, who is campaigning to become the Republican party's candidate to replace retiring Senator Don Nickles, recently said he supports the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions.
"I favor the death penalty," Coburn told the AP last week, "for abortionists and other people who take life."
The Republican primary is July 27th; the winner will face likely Democratic nominee Brad Carson.
Does that mean he's Pro-Life, but would like to have at least, some people killed?
Update: He said he performed two abortions to save the lives of mothers who had congenital heart disease, but opposes the procedure in cases of rape. "Under the mores we live under today, my lineage wouldn't exist," Coburn said, explaining that his great-grandmother was raped by a territorial sheriff.
I guess he'd have himself killed then.
