Huntsman Plays The China Card

Asked to defend his pro-life bona fides, Jon Huntsman points to his adopted Chinese daughter: “I have a daughter sitting right there in front of you – she comes from China. From a country that isn’t always pro-life. She was abandoned age two in a vegetable market.” He concludes that this is a sign of of his commitment to the principle of life. Enforced abortions often stipulated by China’s “one child policy” are a particular cause celebre with evangelical “pro-life” voters.
