Sad to say, after more than two decades, we still have “moderates” like them within the Republican party. : (
Only someone who does not view abortion as the taking of innocent human life can buy that reasoning.That's not true. It is sound reasoning regardless of your view on when life begins.
One of the things that R.v.W. mentioned in its decision was that there was not legislative definition of when life begins. Hunter has been trying to correct that since the 1980s when he cosponsored legislation with Bob Dornan. It’s the rinos and dems that have blocked it.
Overturning R.V.W would only let it revert to states. CA, NY, MA, and many others would become the hubs of abortion for those who wanted one but lived in OK, AL, ID, etc.
Abortion must be defeated on all fronts. It is murder.
Well be that as it may, there will never be enough votes in the Senate to pass legislation defining life as beginning at conception. Or even after the first trimester (which would fail in part from opposition by those who think it doesn’t go far enough.)
And even if it somehow did, the courts would strike it down.
I think it was you who educated me on Margaret Sanger some months back. I saved this link to read later. thanks. There is no question of the evil that is abortion.
You must be a very organized person to have so much information available at a moment’s notice.
It is sad. I believe many of those are folks who are embarrassed by the Christian Right and wish we would go away. They would prefer to regain their permanent minority status in Washington.
>They were right about that Moderates Dole and Thompson tried to toss the platform out in 1996. Thompson called it “useless” and abortion a “distracting issue”.<
Right, Howard Baker, is Thompson’s mentor-advisor even today. Thompson advocated tossing the platform and alienated the GOP’S Conservative base. (Thompson has allegedly flip flopped on his former position on abortion for the 08 election. The RNC has continued to distance itself from traditional Conservatives like Duncan Hunter, and may embrace moderate CFR member, Fred Dalton Thompson.)
Then Karl Rove came up with the “Compassionate Conservative” label for moderate, George W. Bush in 1999, and the Christian Conservative swallowed it enough to defeat Al Gore at all costs.
Rather than discard NAFTA, Bush has pushed it to the limit by leaving our ports and borders wide open for just anyone to come in, which had previously been unthinkable especially during wartime.
So it is high time for damage control to return to the oval office for the first time since Ronald Reagan, with a capable, no nonsense man dedicated to restoring the country’s prosperity by bringing home the good jobs, building the double border fence, overturning Roe vs Wade, and restructuring trade with China to turn our trade deficit around.
At last the true Conservatives have the quintessential candidate in Duncan Hunter! Are they smart enough to realize it?
Speaking of Nazis and aboration, how familiar are you with International ANSWER? Ramsey Clark?
[FLASHBACK] Ramsey Clark backs the President’s Supreme Court nominee Ramsey Clark endorsed Blackmun for Supreme Court Judge. Blackmun’s claim to fame was Roe v. Wade. ... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1344150/posts
NOTICE the connections between Ramsey Clark and Ahmed Huber.
Ramsey Clark’s backing of Blackmun makes the Roe vs. Wade decision very ‘interesting’.
Not organized. I just don’t forget what I read. Probably too much coffee.
I hope and pray they will snap out of their stupor.
Ramsey also volunteered to defend Saddam. They should have hanged him too.
I believe that the Values Voter Debate in Fort Lauderdale on Monday night is going to be long remembered as a truly historic event.
And, in my opnion, those whom the media has dubbed the “frontrunners” have made an error they will not recover from by refusing to be there.
Let’s hope so.
