Virginia Foxx, in a Winston-Salem Journal Q&A:

Q. Should a woman be able to choose to have an abortion while she's pregnant? If she's the victim of rape or incest? If her health is in danger?
A. No. Life is a precious gift from God and I make no exceptions to God's will.

Remarkable.  She used to be pro-choice, back in the days when she had a conscience, or a heart.  Now she's as hard as obsidian and more extreme in this position than even the Republican platform, which at least gives a dying woman an out.

If she's taking this hard-line stance just because she's running against another extremist, Vernon Robinson, then she's also unprincipled, cynical, and calculating.  Not a huge surprise, not to those of us who've known and observed her for three decades.
