Frankly, I thought PersonhoodUSA's pledge was sorely lacking. It didn't actually require the candidates to keep their own oath to provide equal protection for all, within the responsibilities of their own office.

The problem with the GOP is that, other than a few notable exceptions, Republicans have been paying lip service to the pro-life movement ever since Roe v. Wade.

The GOP seems to think they can claim to be pro-life in order to get votes, but they have no intention of doing anything about it once they are in office.

In reality, the GOP treats the pro-life movement the same way the Democrats treat Blacks and other minorities.

Yes, and also, the GOP and Democrats see we "social conservatives" in much the same way. How often have we been looked down on with disdain by "fiscal conservatives"?

Ron Paul's devotees are, like him, libertarians, with all that implies.
