GRTL didn’t endorse Handel because she supports the three exceptions (life of the mother, rape and incest). No big shocker. What is interesting is her reason for refusing to sign their pledge.
GRTL asks candidates to sign a pledge affirming their belief “in the Personhood of all human beings from fertilization to natural death and the attendant need for a Personhood Amendment to our state Constitution.”
Handel did not sign the pledge because the reference to “natural death” conflicts with her support for the death penalty, she said.
I always wonder why pro-life conservatives, who are usually distrustful of the government and complain about their ineptitude, are completely at ease with that same government killing its citizens. By the way, the Georgia Innocence Project, has exonerated five men in the last eight years of their existence.
