Christine O'Donnell said in the 90's that she knew many virgins who were not "sexually pure" because they had looked at pornography. "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. You can't masturbate without lust."
She has also said that abortion is wrong and ought to be against the law. Period.
She has also stated that women ought not to be permitted to serve in the military, as this would undermine US military readiness.
Presumably, these views helped her secure the GOP nomination for the US Senate. But these are no longer her views.
On Sept 16, 2010, at a candidate's forum, she retreated from all of this.
On masturbation, the unmarried nominee now says,"It's personal." She explained her earlier condemnation of masturbation, this way: "I was in my twenties and very excited and passionate about my newfound faith. But I can assure you, my faith has matured."
On abortion, O'Donnell now says, she would support a woman's right to get an abortion if her life was at risk.
She added, "Uncle Sam has no business in the examination room coming between you and your doctor."
On whether women ought to be permitted to have careers in the military, she now says, "Yeah, of course."
Nothing like getting nominated to turn a right wing nut into an inconsistent right wing nut.
