Brownback: Was He Always Pro-Life?
January 24, 2007
I sat down with Sen. Brownback last night and asked him a question that has been out there but definitely under the radar. When he first ran for Congress in 1994, he didn't label himself pro-life until later in that race.
Why did he not just come out and say he was pro-life at the beginning of that race rather than switching during the race? You can watch his answer here.
RELATED STORY:
Here’s some more information coming from Brownback’s office. They tell me that in 1994, he was trying to stay clear of labels. Yet they admit that Brownback at the time made a mistake in messaging the way he came across. Still, they say every vote and every letter he’s ever written have all been supporting the pro-life position.
Now, there’s one other interesting tidbit. Apparently, back in 1994, Brownback said that his views on abortion are "more in line with Nancy Kassebaum". Well, Nancy Kassebaum was pro-choice This has been reported by The New Republic. In their story, they say that Brownback said that to the head of Kansans for Life back in 1994. I asked Brownback’s office about this in a follow up phone call. His office says Brownback never recalls saying anything like that.
