Jimmy Carter
The Public Record
Jimmy Earl Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, to January 20, 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the office of Governor of Georgia from January 12, 1971, to July 1, 1975. During his presidency, Carter focused on human rights, energy conservation, and the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. His administration also faced significant challenges, including the Iran Hostage Crisis and economic difficulties marked by inflation and unemployment.
I am strongly opposed to the proliferation of new agencies, departments, bureaus, boards and commissions because it adds on to an already confused federal bureaucratic structure.
I would do everything I could through moral persuasion and through my own actions as President to minimize a need for abortion.
I do favor the right of the Attorney General to obtain pre-merger injunction.
I think that the President himself has certainly a right, even an obligation, to express to the public displeasure or criticism of programming content.
I think abortion is wrong and I think that government ought not ever do anything to encourage abortion.
I would not approve of [the use of Medicaid funds for abortion] at all.
I have been deeply hurt, as have many other Americans in the last few years, with the deterioration and the quality of our governmental processes.
