Sam Brownback’s passionate views against abortion and embryonic stem cell research.
But when Brownback addresses delegates on the final night of the GOP’s national convention next week, he plans to promote his “whole life” philosophy, which links his anti-abortion stand with a call to value life “at every stage.” That means making it a priority to fight poverty and injustice around the world — whether it’s working to stop genocide in Darfur, curb human trafficking in Asia or halt the spread of AIDS in Africa. He wants to show that Republicans who accept the “whole life” ethic have more of a claim as the party for compassion and social justice than Democrats. “It’s a philosophical position for the party that we’re fighting to get the party to embrace,” Brownback said in an interview. He said Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and running mate Joe Biden want people to ignore the Democratic Party’s positions on taxes, abortion and gay marriage, yet still claim the high ground on broader social justice issues.
