As we prepare for tonight's 7pm GOP Gubernatorial primary debate (find out on what stations across Texas here thanks to the Texas Tribune), I have to wonder if one of the questions tonight to Sen. Hutchison will be whether or not she supports the pro-choice position she held in the KERA sponsored debate held in 1993 during the special election against Bob Krueger. Special thanks to the Rick vs Kay blog.
Hutchison was pretty clear in this debate saying that her position as of 1993 was the one she held "all along". She is comfortable with Roe v. Wade and support a woman's right to choose an abortion as late as 22 weeks, the tail end of the second trimester, where she believes viability begins.
Of course, Hutchison, in attempting to run to Rick Perry's right, may very well bail out of yet another position she's previously stated. And it's a shame that she doesn't believe there is room in the GOP primary for Pro-Choice Republicans like herself.
