The Washington Post notes that 2008 Presidential Contender Sen. George Allen owns stock in Barr Laboratories, Inc., maker of the Plan B abortion pill.
But this is not the story. Other people (including Ken Blackwell) have owned stock in a blind trust and have divested themselves of the stock as soon as they learn that they owned stock in the company. The real story is Allen’s response. He says that he will keep the stock:
In an interview Tuesday, Allen said that stock purchases shouldn’t be an issue in the campaign and that he has no plans to sell his Barr holdings. He also urged voters to focus on his record instead of his investments.
“Look at the way I vote,” said Allen, who opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest and danger to the life of the mother and often scores a perfect rating from the National Right to Life Committee.
Allen has “no plans to sell his Barr holdings.” In other words, he will continue to make money off the killing of the unborn while claiming to be pro-life. That’s just another reason to add to my list of reasons for pro-life advocates of why Allen is an unacceptable candidate for President.
