On abortion
Strickland said his opponent is "opposed to abortion in all circumstances.
But Blackwell, noting his wife and two daughters were here today, said modern medicine "makes the intentional killing of a baby unnecessary."
We can save the mother and the child, Blackwell said.

Post a Comment*The wRong wingnuts have control of the whitehouse, the legislature, the senate !
This is a mere wedge issue, for which the courts have settled !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2006 !
And Blackwell flip-flops on another issue
Blackwell has also never been raped and beaten or ever experienced what it is like to be a woman or have any of the horrible things that happen to women happen to him.
Strickland Lays Out Plan to Turnaround Ohio, Draws Sharp Contrasts in First Gubernatorial Debate
Columbus, Ohio – In the first Ohio gubernatorial debate in Youngstown Tuesday, Congressman Ted Strickland laid out his vision to Turnaround Ohio and emphasized his ability to move beyond partisanship to solve the challenges facing Ohio.
Focusing on spurring economic growth, improving the state’s education system while lowering college tuition costs, and expanding access to affordable health care, Strickland laid out a positive agenda for change.
"Ted got across a clear message today: if Ohioans are sick and tired of failed Republican leadership and are eager for change, Ted Strickland's their candidate," said Strickland for Governor spokesman Keith Dailey.
Pointing out that 16 years of Republican rule have driven Ohio to the bottom among key indicators of economic health, Strickland emphasized his experience delivering for his constituents: from helping to coauthor the Children’s Health Insurance Program to working with the labor and management to save thousands of jobs at Wheeling-Pittsburgh’s steel plant to building roads throughout his congressional district.
And Strickland also made clear he has a record of living out his values, not just talking about his values. As a Congressman, Strickland has returned several hundred thousand dollars from his congressional office budget, because he believes government should live within its means. He’s also returned more than $40,000 in mid-term pay raises and health insurance benefits since 1999, because he believes his constituents should have access to affordable health insurance. Meanwhile, Ken Blackwell is against abortion but has invested money in the company that makes the Morning After pill. Blackwell is against gambling but has invested his money in a company that makes slot machines.
In contrast to Strickland’s comprehensive plan to Turnaround Ohio, Republican Ken Blackwell continued to offer a series of gimmicky proposals that have been debunked by local and national experts. From his proposed lease of the Ohio Turnpike, which would likely go to a foreign company and lead to higher tolls, to his 65-cent education plan that former Bush Education Secretary Rod Paige called a “gimmick” and “one of the worst ideas in education,” Blackwell offered platitudes instead of solutions.
While claiming he wants to shrink government, Blackwell neglected to mention that as Treasurer he requested a 42% spending increase, the highest of any statewide official. And as Secretary of State, Blackwell increased his office spending by 73% by hiking user fees on Ohioans.
“We can't trust Ken Blackwell to level with Ohioans," Dailey said. "He has the nerve to say that we 'had a great election in 2004.' Has he forgotten the thousands of people waiting hours in line to vote, or the tens of thousands of voters who had their valid, provisional ballots disqualified? We need solutions from the next governor of Ohio, not smoke and mirrors."
While Strickland emphasized returning honesty and accountability to state government after the corruption scandals that have plagued Columbus, Blackwell insisted he should not be lumped in with the failed Republican leadership he has been a part of for the last 12 years. But Blackwell’s actions speak louder than his words: he still refuses to release his tax returns, even though Republican gubernatorial candidates for the last 35 years have done so.
geno•cide \"je-ne-'sid\ n : the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group
In Blackwells book, per excerpts printed in this newspaper, he refers to black abortions as genocide. We need him to explain that position in light of the exact definition of genocide noted above. This guy is farther out than Pluto and as Pluto got demoted recently come 11-7-06 this Bozo of a candidate will also be demoted.
I guess this means Blackwell is a doctor in the Fristian mold.
Maternal Mortality Exceeds U.S. Goal; Age and Racial Differences Are Marked
During the period 1991-1999, more than 4,000 U.S. women died from pregnancy-related causes; in all, 11.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births were pregnancy-related.1 Analyses conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveal that over the nine-year period, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio rose; the risk of pregnancy-related death was sharply elevated among women aged 35 or older and among black women. Maternal mortality remains substantially higher than the government's target for the year 2010.
Analysts from the CDC used data from the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System, which includes information on all pregnancy-related deaths reported by state health departments, maternal mortality review committees, media and individual providers. Birth certificates or fetal death certificates yielded additional data for the majority of women who had had a live birth or a stillbirth. The analysts classified a death as pregnancy-related if it occurred during or within one year after a pregnancy and resulted from complications of the pregnancy, events triggered by the pregnancy or the pregnancy's aggravation of an unrelated condition.
A total of 4,200 maternal deaths during the surveillance period were pregnancy-related. The pregnancy-related mortality ratio for the entire period was 11.8 deaths per 100,000 live births; the ratio rose from 10.3 to 13.2 per 100,000 between 1991 and 1999, and the increase was statistically significant. Women younger than 30 had below-average pregnancy-related mortality ratios (8.6-9.6 per 100,000), but the ratio was just above average for those in their early 30s and rose dramatically thereafter (to 21.6 for women in their late 30s and 45.4 for those aged 40 and older). The analysts calculated risk ratios, which confirmed that women aged 30-34 had a modestly higher risk of dying from a pregnancy-related cause than women younger than 20 (1.4), and the risk was markedly elevated among women aged 35-39 (2.5) or older (5.3). Whereas white women had a pregnancy-related mortality ratio of 8.1 deaths per 100,000 live births, the ratio for black women was 30.0 per 100,000; the risk ratio (3.7) suggested that black women were almost four times as likely as white women to die from a pregnancy-related cause.
Essentially the same racial differential in pregnancy-related mortality was evident across women's characteristics. Black women had a higher pregnancy-related mortality ratio than white women in every age-group studied. The gap widened as women's age increased, and in the oldest age-group (40 years or older), black women's ratio (nearly 160 per 100,000) was more than five times white women's (roughly 30 per 100,000). At all levels of education, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio among black women was 3-4 times that among their white counterparts. The same was true regarding the trimester in which women initiated prenatal care (although the differential was somewhat reduced among women who had received no care at all), and the pattern was similar regardless of the number of births a woman had had. Women in general and white women were less likely to die as a result of pregnancy if they were married than if they were not, but the reverse was true for black women.
So Blackwell apparently cares more for fetuses than the health and well being of adult women, who are wives, mothers, sisters, daughters themselves.
does that mean - as an investor in the company that makes "that little pill" - he is guilty of genocide - but - it's OK - as long as the babies are white - what about mixed babies - how does he feel about them?
Blackwell cares about a strong family and it apparantly drives Liberals nuts!!
Strickland is such a small man, he must need to kill fetuses to feel all-mighty.
Now remind me again - just exactly how is the governor Of Ohio or any other state going to impact the Supreme Court's Roe V Wade decision?
no vested interest have you missed South Dakota? Or does Fox News neglect those types of stories so as not to alarm moderate republican woman.
Forcing families who cannot afford another child to have another child does not build strong families. The higher rate of abortion among black women is a reflection of the economic disparity between blacks and whites.
Want to reduce abortions? Support families so they can afford housing, healthcare and childcare. The GOP ignores the concerns of average working people while they cater to their campaign contributors the richest 1 percent.
there is no reason to kill innocent children under no circumstances this is comin from a woman who has gone through being beaten and raped . and even if you get raped the unborn baby did not rape you give it up for adoption or something dont kill it just because you can
