Ben
Stein
|
Known
for his eclectic career in politics, Hollywood and media, Ben Stein is also a
pro-lifer. While he predicted a 2012 loss for Republican Mitt Romney and while
he disagreed with some of the GOP’s economic views, Stein refused to support
Obama. The reason? The actor and lawyer’s pro-life views prevented him from
doing so.
“For me, the number one issue is right to life. I don’t think the
Democrats are very good on the right-to-life issue,” he said during a PBS appearance last year. “People who think of abortion as a reasonable method of birth
control just are never going to get my vote.”
“… [Pro-choicers] cannot look at their handiwork or the handiwork they defend. Across the country, they shrink from photos of the babies killed in abortions. Through their mighty political groups, the pro-abortionists compel TV stations to refuse advertisements showing partial birth and other abortion artifacts. They will not even allow viewers (or themselves, I suspect) to see what their policies have wrought. They are, at least to my mind, like the Germans who refuse to think about what was happening in Dachau and then vomited when they saw – and never wanted to see again.”Jewish columnist Ben Stein in the May 1998 issue of American Spectator magazine
