I missed this the first time I read this interview with Ralph Nader in the American Conservative, but it was pointed out by Bill Samuel at his “seamless garment” weblog:
PB: Let me move to the social issues. Would you have voted against or in favor of the ban on partial-birth abortion?
RN: I believe in choice. I don’t think government should tell women to have children or not to have children. I am also against feticide. If doctors think it is a fetus, that should be banned. It is a medical decision.
What does Ralph mean by “feticide”? A fetus is defined as an unborn human eight weeks after conception. Does this mean he thinks abortion after eight weeks should be banned?
