You asked me a while back whether any fundamentalists would ever not oppose abortion. (Not in those words, but that was the gist.)

Coincidentally, here's Pat Robertson, who surely qualifies in your book as a fundamentalist:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rev. Pat Robertson, a leader of the national anti-abortion movement, said
leaders in China who are forcing women to have abortions are ``doing what they have to do.''

In an interview Monday night on CNN's ``Wolf Blitzer Reports,'' Robertson said the United States
should not interfere with China's policy.

``Well, you know, I don't agree with it, but at the same time, they've got 1.2 billion people and they
don't know what to do,'' said Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition.

``If every family over there was allowed to have three or four children, the population would be
completely unsustainable.''

``So I think that right now they're doing what they have to do. I don't agree with the forced abortion,
but I don't think the United States needs to interfere with what they're doing internally in this regard.''
