WOULD CONDI RICE AND COLIN POWELL BE "PRO-CHOICE" ON SLAVERY?

"Condoleeza Rice, Bush's much-expected pick as national security adviser, has described herself as ‘reluctantly pro-choice.’

" ‘What if I described myself as reluctantly pro-slavery?’ [Douglas] Scott [President of Life Decisions International] retorted. ‘I mean, we are all reluctant to make hard choices.’ ...

[Diago]

Pro-lifers need to start organizing now against a possible bait and switch with the vice-presidency. Ridge, Rice and Powell are all being kicked around as possbile VP's. They would then become front runners for the Presidency dealing a severe blow to the pro-life movement and certainly leading to even more millions being killed.

I noticed that not a few people on this forum were beginning to deny that Rice was a pro-abort. This was the only documentation I could find. Perhaps I'll e-mail howard Phillips for documentation on this rather bizzarre "reluctantly pro-choice" quote of Rice to for documentation on its origin.

I am always amazed at how quickly otherwise sound Conservatives will waive all their standards and engage in affirmative action when it comes to black RINO's. White guilt is alive and well in the GOP.

Can someone point me to a reasonable source indicating one of these three are being considered as VEEP material in '04? Please?

If Condi Rice is indeed "reluctantly" pro-abortion, I am "reluctantly" anti-Condi Rice for Veep.

[Reagan Man]

As National Security Advisor Condi Rice's position on abortion isn't important. But as Vice President she would be a heart beat away from supporting further pro-choice measures, that would lead to more deaths of unborn children. There's been 40,000,000 abortion deaths since 1973, we don't need someone who supports abortion rights to become the next VPOTUS. Not now, not ever! I don't believe Colin POwell wants to be VPOTUS. I believe Tom Ridge wants to be POTUS some day and a good stepping stone is to be a VPOTUS first. I don't believe Bush would pick Ridge or Rice to replace Cheney. If he did, he would lose significant conservative support.

Bump

Let's pray for Condi Rice's eyes to be opened to the truth about the holocaust of abortion -- and Colin Powell's too.

If they support income taxes, they support my being enslaved for about 7 months of the year. That includes state, local, federal, and user fees (parks, licenses, etc.) that most won't count as taxes... anyway...

It isn't just the job a person is in. Being pro-choice reveals that a person is EVIL. And evil people do not belong in ANY position of authority or power.

Exactly!

[Cato the Censor]

Condoleeza Rice received her Masters degree in political science from Notre Dame in 1975. She spoke there in 1995 when she was awarded an honorary doctorate and described herself as pro-life.

Great to see that people are reading the I&SB!

[father_elijah]

Bravo! Precisely the point!

[TD911]

This seems really important at this point in history! </sarcasm off>

Condi Rice is the NSA, how or where abortion plays into this is beyond me!

Her job is to help determine whose ass we should kick with what means and when.

[father_elijah]

I pray she has not changed her position or waffled. She needds to make her position plain.

[OldFriend]

Would you care to give me your opinion on the job Rudy Guiliani did as Mayor of New York. Before, during, and afer September 11, 2001?

[Arthur McGowan]

Well, she's changed her mind. She probably realized that being pro-life, or saying that one is pro-life, is a liability.

From a 1999 National Review article:

Rice characterizes herself as an “all-over-the-map Republican,” whose views are “hard to typecast”: “very conservative“ in foreign policy, “ultra-conservative” in other areas, “almost shockingly libertarian” on some issues, “moderate” on others, “liberal” on probably nothing. (She calls herself “mildly pro-choice” on abortion.)--- Link

It's already bad enough with Bush approving fetal stem cell research the way he did ----too many "compromises" and we're seeing no progress at all.

40 million babies have been killed by abortion since Roe v Wade. So, actually, it is somewhat important.
