State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (D-Chicago): You know I support----life. [Watch the show here w/ 7th CD candidate La Shawn Ford]
Jeff Berkowitz: …Well, if you support life, some people [with that view] would say that they would support a constitutional amendment that protects the embryo, that would ban abortion—would you go down that road?
********************
State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (D-Chicago) is running in the 2010 Seventh Cong. Dist. Democratic Primary, on the assumption that the current occupant of that seat, thirteen-year incumbent Cong. Danny Davis, is not seeking re-election. And, it appears to be the case that Cong. Davis will not seek re-election but will instead run for Cook County Board President in the 2010 Democratic Primary.
Rep. La Shawn Ford is the featured guest on next week’s Suburban Edition of Public Affairs [See the Chicago Metro suburban airing schedule for “Public Affairs,” at the close of this post ]. 7th Cong. Dist. Democratic Primary candidate La Shawn Ford debates and discusses a broad range of domestic public policy, foreign policy and cultural public policy issues with show host and Executive Legal Recruiter Jeff Berkowitz, on a show taped on August 9, 2009. It is likely that State Rep. Ford will be facing five or more competitors in the 7th CD Democratic Primary.

Abortion
Jeff Berkowitz: Do you support that woman’s right to choose?
State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (D-Chicago): You know I support----life. [Watch the show here w/ 7th CD candidate La Shawn Ford]
Jeff Berkowitz: …Well, if you support life, some people [with that view] would say that they would support a constitutional amendment that protects the embryo, that would ban abortion—would you go down that road?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: You know that’s something that I haven’t had a chance to go across the 7th Congressional District to find out—
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you’re not taking a position on that?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: Well, you know, I am a Catholic and I believe that we have to protect life and preserve life.
Jeff Berkowitz: But, you’re not ready to say you would like to overturn Roe v. Wade?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: Oh no, not at all.
************************************
Minimum wages and unemployment
Jeff Berkowitz: …some people say high minimum wages make people unemployed because they could work for a lower wage and have a job but the minimum wage drives business away from hiring them. Do you agree? Can the minimum wage be too high?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: No, not at all.
Jeff Berkowitz: You don’t agree with that?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: No, the minimum wage can’t be too high because these are the people that work very hard in our society.
Unions and unemployment
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you are a union guy. You think unions help. Some people say that unions cause wages to be above the market wage and therefore people become unemployed [by unions]. Do you disagree with that?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: You know. I am a union guy, I am a people’s guy…I need the unions to be more in line with what’s good for the people- what’s good for what the Constitution says—Justice for all.
Cap and Trade--- and unemployment
Jeff Berkowitz: …Do you know about Cap and Trade?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: Yeah.
Jeff Berkowitz: The President says that’s a good idea. You’re going to cap carbon emissions- people can trade that—others say it’s going to cost a great deal, business is going to be driven away to other countries, people in the United States lose jobs. Who’s right? Obama or his critics?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: The President is right. You know, we—
Jeff Berkowitz: You would support “Cap and Trade.”
Rep. La Shawn Ford: I would support “Cap and Trade.”
Jeff Berkowitz: And, you don’t think people are going to lose jobs in the 7th Cong. Dist.?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: … I do believe that we are in a situation where we have to preserve energy and that there is global warming.
Jeff Berkowitz: And, that takes priority over jobs at this point?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: It doesn’t take priority over jobs. I think that we can still have—create jobs in the 7th Cong. Dist. through the green technology.
Jeff Berkowitz: You think so?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: I know so.
Jeff Berkowitz: That’s going to offset them?
Rep. La Shawn Ford: That’s going to offset it because we have to bring green technology into the 7th Cong. District.
