Again, abortion seems to be the only issue you care about in defining a Republican. Even the GOP platform never defines that a fertilized egg becomes a child at conception. The GOP platform also states the following, "We oppose abortion, but our pro-life agenda does not include punitive action against women who have an abortion" (from http://www.rnc.org/GOPInfo/Platform/2000platform4.htm).
The Republican Party states it will NOT force criminal penalties on a woman who has an abortion. Do you agree with this platform?
I helped create it.
But believe me, the vast majority of women who obtain abortions punish themselves quite sufficiently for the rest of their lives.
Okay. Let's talk about the unalienable right to keep and bear arms. The right to protect your family, your property, your community and yourself.
That right has been more and more undermined for the last generation. It has gotten so bad that it is even illegal where I live for me to own or possess a weapon, even in my own home. Schwarzenegger supports further erosion. How can conservatives support such a politician? How can you?
