No, it\u2019s that even if they\u2019re well meaning, moderators who aren&#8217;t pro-life lack familiarity with the deeper strategic options and distinctions that pro-lifers care about.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The obvious solution would be to have debates moderated by actual activists and experts representing the various causes GOP primary voters are weighing. But since the Republican National Committee is unlikely to make that happen anytime soon, at least we can give the debate moderators\u00a0some pointers.<\/p>\n<p>In the interest of a more productive primary process, I\u2019ve prepared a series of questions that the remaining Republican candidates should have to answer, as well as a specific question for each candidate on a perceived or potential weakness in his pro-life stance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you support the <a href=\"\/news\/life-conception-act-idea-whose-time-come\/\">Life at Conception Act<\/a>, which renders <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> obsolete by formally recognizing that life begins at conception and seizing upon Roe\u2019s admission that \u201cof course\u201d the 14th Amendment would protect preborn babies if the \u201csuggestion of personhood is established\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you support the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/114th-congress\/house-bill\/2761\/text\">Sanctity of Life Act<\/a>, which uses Congress\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/constitution\/articleiii#section2\">Article III, Section 2<\/a> authority to make \u201cexceptions\u201d and \u201cregulations\u201d to the Supreme Court\u2019s jurisdiction to take abortion cases out of their hands?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In addition to signing legislation defunding Planned Parenthood, will you pledge to veto <em>any<\/em> appropriations bill that contains funding for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>After eight years under President Obama, the partisan radicalization of the Department of Justice <a href=\"http:\/\/spectator.org\/articles\/36923\/deep-corruption-obama-justice-department\">runs far deeper<\/a> than replacing a single attorney general, and encompasses scores of personnel abusing their authority and neglecting their duties on an array of scandals. As president, what specific measures will you take to root out corruption and ideology, to ensure that your Justice Department will <a href=\"\/news\/ag-lynch-wont-commit-to-support-or-enforce-law-protecting-born-alive-infants\/\">hold the abortion industry accountable<\/a> for <a href=\"\/news\/a-guide-to-how-planned-parenthood-is-breaking-the-law\/\">its crimes<\/a> and protect the rights of pro-life Americans from abortion-lobby legal harassment?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-lindsey-graham-hit-ted-cruz-pro-life-stand\/\">most sensitive issues<\/a> in the abortion debate is how to address abortions sought for rape or incest. While 57% of the American people support banning elective abortions, only 25% of the public is willing to ban abortions for rape or incest. Yet pro-lifers <a href=\"\/news\/christie-sees-immediate-backlash-comments-abortion-rape-gop-debate\/\">also expect their candidates<\/a> to recognize that children conceived in rape are just as alive and human as those conceived consensually. If you support rape and incest exceptions, why, and if you do not, how will you to <a href=\"\/news\/pro-life-without-exceptions-isnt-political-suicide-hope-political-survival\/\">persuade Americans to protect <em>all<\/em> babies<\/a> without alienating them?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Jeb Bush<\/strong>: In November, you <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/melanie-hunter\/jeb-bush-dont-believe-litmus-tests-would-appoint-judges-consistent\">told Chuck Todd<\/a> on \u201cMeet the Press\u201d that you would not ask prospective judicial nominees if they would overturn <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, but instead \u201cI would ask deep questions about judicial philosophy, and then make sure that the person had a proven record.\u201d Yet the late Justice Antonin Scalia <a href=\"\/news\/time-pro-lifers-stand-strong-protecting-scalias-principles\/\">had no problem publicly stating<\/a> his belief that the Court should return abortion policy to the states. Would you still decline to get a commitment to overturn <em>Roe<\/em> from nominees, and if so, what other guarantees would you give pro-lifers that your nominees would overturn Roe v. Wade?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Carson<\/strong>: You are pro-life without rape or incest exceptions, and have said life beings at conception. But in August, you <a href=\"\/news\/is-ben-carson-campaign-imploding-on-life-issue\/\">suggested<\/a> that so-called emergency contraception be administered to rape victims. However, <a href=\"\/news\/studies-show-all-forms-of-emergency-contraception-cause-abortion\/\">there is scientific evidence<\/a> that emergency contraception can kill a living embryo by preventing him or her from implanting in the uterus. Do you stand by emergency contraception?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ted Cruz<\/strong>: You <a href=\"\/news\/pro-life-look-ted-cruzs-plan-rein-judicial-activism\/\">have proposed<\/a> constitutional amendments to overturn some of the Supreme Court\u2019s most egregious decisions, and to institute judicial retention elections to make justices more accountable to the people. However, as you know,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archives.gov\/federal-register\/constitution\/\">amending the Constitution<\/a> is a difficult process in which the president has no official role. How will you assure pro-lifers these are serious possibilities you could actually influence as president, rather than simply tough talk for the campaign trail?<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Kasich<\/strong>: In August, <a href=\"\/news\/john-kasich-roe-v-wade-live-law-land\/\">you said<\/a> of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, \u201cit\u2019s the law of the land now and we live with the law of the land.\u201d In responding to follow-up requests, your campaign spokesman Chris Schrimpf told the Weekly Standard that your judicial nominees would practice \u201cjudicial restraint,\u201d but did not clarify whether you would seek judges committed to overturning <em>Roe<\/em>. Would a potential Kasich nominee voting to uphold <em>Roe<\/em> be consistent with your conception of judicial restraint?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marco Rubio<\/strong>: You have spoken eloquently of the need to defund Planned Parenthood, and voted for bills to defund the organization. However, you <a href=\"https:\/\/caffeinatedthoughts.com\/2016\/02\/marco-rubio-does-not-fight\/\">did not actively support<\/a> the strategy to withhold Planned Parenthood\u2019s funding through the appropriations process\u2014you <a href=\"\/news\/senate-republicans-oppose-ted-cruz-mike-lees-move-defund-planned-parenthood\/\">did not support<\/a> Senator Cruz\u2019s effort to attach defunding to the must-pass highway appropriations bill, and you skipped both the cloture and final votes on the continuing resolution to fund the government including Planned Parenthood. What do you say to pro-lifers concerned that this shows you will not fight as hard for them as other candidates will?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>: In the February debate, you <a href=\"\/news\/donald-trump-planned-parenthood-does-do-wonderful-things\/\">asserted<\/a> that Planned Parenthood \u201cdoes do wonderful things but not as it relates to abortion,\u201d despite the fact that the organization\u2019s non-abortion services <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-health-care-services-declined-in-2014-while-taxpayer-funding-increased\/\">have been steadily declining<\/a>, and suggested one of your Supreme Court nominees might be Judge Diane Sykes, who in 2012 wrote an opinion striking down Indiana\u2019s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. Why should these not concern pro-lifers that a Trump Administration might be less than fully committed to completely defunding Planned Parenthood?<\/p>\n<p>We already know these guys can talk boldly about abortion and Planned Parenthood. We know what they\u2019ve said and done about the easy questions. Now we need some real depth and detail. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/feedback\/tips\/\">What say you<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/2010\/10\/14\/contact-us.html\">major media<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gop.com\/contact-us\/\">How about it<\/a>, Chairman Priebus?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most recent Republican presidential debate was highly illuminating only due to the candidates\u2019 own interactions and pronouncements, not because the moderators&#8217; questions were particularly insightful.
