On Abortion: Personally opposes abortion, but not an issue for Congress

O’Donnell, known for her opposition to premarital sex and abortion, tried unsuccessfully to pin down Ting on whether he thinks abortion is wrong. Ting has said he supports parental notification and opposes late-term abortions, but that the issue generally is one for the Supreme Court, not Congress. “I am personally opposed to abortion,” said Ting, adding that his father taught him that when adults argue passionately, it’s likely that some element of truth can be found on both sides of the issue.

On War & Peace: Iran has benefited from the war in Iraq

The three Republican candidates agreed that Iran, which Western governments fear is intent on developing nuclear weapons and which has close ties to Shiite leaders in Iraq, has benefited from the war in Iraq. Ms. O’Donnell was the only candidate, however, to assert that the U.S. should consider military action against Iran. “You can’t negotiate with the devil,” said Ms. O’Donnell, who also asserted that China has a “carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America.”
