The US Foreign Minister Condoleezza Rice, the daughter of a presbyterianischen preacher, placed herself beginning the week to an interview of the daily paper „The Washington Times “. It concerned also the abortion. It is deeply religious and moderately abortion friendly. Excerpts.

(, Washington kreuz.net) the US Foreign Minister Condoleezza Rice means that we live „in rather extraordinary times “, because the USA would have shown the will the guidance to take over and Bush took difficult things “to president during the last four years „to the hand. To a long maintenance about topics with regard to foreign policy the discussion comes also on the abortion:

- Question: The people understand your positions with regard to foreign policy. But there is some confusion over your domestic convictions. I talked for example last year with the former US Secretary of State Colin Powel. He explained that he the child abortion endorse etc. I asked the Internet to the topic `Condi Rice and the Abtreibung' and found only darkens, contradictory information. Could you bring light into these questions? Are you per life? Are they for the abortion? What do you think of the abortion?

Condoleezza Rice: Perhaps they remember the year 2000, when I supported the president in the election campaign. At that time I said that I am liberally oriented in the abortion question. I mean thereby that I strove in this question around the role, which the government to take should. I am a strong Verfechterin of the decision of parents. I am a strong Verfechterin of a prohibition of the late abortion. Those are all things, which - as I think - which bring humans together in a consent. That is, as I believes, the place, where we should be. I called myself occasionally as moderately abortion friendly.

- That is the expression, I am more frequently met which.

Condoleezza Rice: Yes, moderately abortion-friendly. That means the following. I believe that there are many topics, over which we an agreement to obtain can. That is the place, where I would like to be. I am whole the opinion of the president that we must respect the life and that we a culture to need, which respects the life. This point should not be presented frequently for discussion, because we need a culture, which says: „Who wants an abortion? Who wants to have a daughter, a friend or sister, who must pass through by such a thing? “Therefore I believe that the president stands exactly in this question at the correct place. We must respect the culture of the life and we must try to bring the people to respect the life and to make the child abortion to a possibility, which is as rare as possible.

- Question: The only reason, why I addressed this topic am, because there is a thinking direction, which says that no conservative republican can be selected to the president, who is not strongly per life. I know that you confirmed or excluded nothing, but…

Condoleezza Rice: I do not have the intention to be selected.

- However it sounds itself, as if you do not preserve the desire to change the laws which permit the child abortion now…

Condoleezza Rice: I do not use my whole life, in order to think about such questions. They know that I mean time zubringe to think about questions of the foreign policy. But you know that I am a deeply religious person. Therefore are these extraordinarily difficult moral topics of my point of view out, where we questions of the technology and the extension of the life and the fact that very very young babies are able today to survive - very small babies are able to survive… - that are important moral questions. Which we - in my opinion - should have, is a Federal Government, that does not force upon its opinions or to other side. Like that I agree for example with those, which reject a financing of the child abortion by the Federal Government, because I the opinion am that those, which possess a strong moral conviction should not be forced to pay the child abortion.

- Question: They mentioned their deep religious faith. We interviewt recently the presidents. He spoke the fulfillment of his obligations about his faith and like these affected. Could they say to us, how your faith exerts an influence on your task as a Foreign Minister?

Condoleezza Rice: My faith is part of everything that I do. It is some of what I am. It is not something, which is outside of, what I does, because it is some of that, which I am. The prayer is very important for me and a faith that one, if one asks for it is led. That means not that I believe that God will say to me, what I in the question of the Iranian nuclear problem to do am. I do not see the things in such a way. But I believe very strongly that - if one a person of the prayer and the faith actual this an assistance is, in order us, imperfect humans, who have to argue with very difficult and consequence-fraught questions to lead.

If I speak as an American in the world to other one, particularly to people, which go through a democratization process, I would be first, which would say that I believed that America makes it correct, because one can live its religion there freely, as always one wishes oneself it. One can also decide not to be religious if one wishes. One can believe oneself to decide or one can decide not to believe. That is the genius of the American system that someone, which is as deeply religious as I is just as very fully appreciative and respected American as someone, which believes in nothing. So I can speak of the view of the faith and my personal circumstances out, but I can speak also of the perspective of an American. I believe, we the correct balance here achieved.

- Your clothes have unite dust whirled up. I see that they carry a military jacket. Their topic is military. How much attention you dedicate what they carry. The former Foreign Minister Madeleine Albright said once that she envied her body.

Condoleezza Rice: It was cold me. I love dresses. I always loved it. When I was years old five, my poor father tended to prepare its Sundays lecture on Saturday - he was a presbyterianischer preacher. My mother and I went shopping. Buy is merry.

Marcel: Protestant chaos

Again such a sad case of the protestant Christians: it can assemble itself everyone its teachings, like it would like (and with the catholics is it already like that).
Thus one experiences it that into the same family the one with the Bible justify the abortion, and the others the life protection.
Thus it goes with the denominations abgespaltenen of the church: they atomisieren.

One „deeply religious woman “, who is moderately abortion friendly „“. That is just as by verse as if the former president Clinton explained that his Beführwortung of the abortion is a fruit of its prayer, because finally wants it only happy children in the USA to have…
