The new Harden Abortion Compromise Scale, created by CompassCare CEO Jim Harden, reveals the degree to which a candidate is willing to compromise on protecting all citizens equally in order to gain office.
On April 25th, Republican Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley spoke out about her abortion consensus policy, in an effort to “save babies.” However, a new scale reveals she is only 0.09% more pro-life than President Joe Biden.
Rev. Harden said, “Pro-abortion politicians in charge of the Democrat party like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris prefer to mischaracterize not only the opinions of the public regarding abortion restrictions but also the policies of Republicans. They do this to dodge coming clean on their own very unpopular position of unfettered abortion access up to and after birth.”
HACS contextualizes policy positions on abortion for both candidates and their prospective voters to evaluate policy decisions and how they protect or fail to protect all people equally under the law—specifically detailing the practical consequences of a candidate’s abortion policy position in terms of babies killed by abortion. Rev. Harden believes that HACS will enable voters to make informed decisions about candidates, and enable candidates to measure the results of their policies pertaining to the protection of all human life. Based on the scale, Haley is nearly as high in number as President Joe Biden–something very much in contrast to her speech last week.
“With all the political rhetoric and emotional posturing, Americans need a tool to see at a glance exactly how many babies each candidate is willing to let die from abortion to gain office with their policy.” Harden explained in a statement. “Since 99.1% of all abortion occur prior to 20 weeks’ gestation, Nikki Haley’s abortion compromise is about as effective at solving the abortion problem as Henry Clay’s Missouri Compromise was at solving slavery.”
This information comes from the most recent CDC abortion surveillance data, combined with the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute’s Abortion Provider Census. It also includes the candidate’s policy, while measuring the number of preborn boys and girls that the policy would allow to be aborted.
HACS derives its name from Hebrews 3:13b: “…so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” HACS contextualizes policy positions on abortion for both candidates and their prospective voters to evaluate policy decisions and how they protect or fail to protect all people equally under the law. Rev. Harden wonders if a purely pro-life candidate will arise to fight for all citizens both born and preborn.
As an example of a comprehensively pro-life strategy, Rev. Harden created the 9-Point Protect Women and Children from Abortion Fraud and Injury Plan. While discussing the nuanced exceptions to pro-life policy with Rev. Harden, Sean Hannity said, “My exceptions are intellectually inconsistent. Your opinion is more pure.” A true pro-life statesman needs to be comprehensively pro-life, both for the woman and the child. This requires much more than restrictions on abortion based merely on gestational age.
Harden joins us now to discuss this scale further.
Q&A:
- Why would Haley go all in on her abortion consensus policy when the scale shows how clearly she leans towards abortion?
- Based on HACS, this isn’t unique to Haley. Candidates like Donald Trump aren’t that far removed from Biden on the scale, and even DeSantis protects only slightly above half of preborn citizens. Why are these supposed “pro-life” candidates so compromising on abortion?
- Do you think a purely pro-life candidate will emerge? What sort of policies would mark such a candidate?
- Tell us more about the research you put into the Harden Abortion Compromise Scale (HACS), and how helpful it has been gauging those that have said they’ve been pro-life in the past.
- What can people do if they’re looking for protection against pro-abortion types, like Jane’s Revenge?
