Here's still more proof that the GOP party platform does not include pro-life issues.

GOP Agenda - official GOP website

Nowhere in the GOP agenda is abortion or pro-life issues even mentioned.
The reason: because the GOP as a party does not have a definitive position. They know it is too divisive an issue, and the GOP is looking for a big tent.

Now if you want to talk about abortion as a conservative issue, that's one thing. But talking about it as a GOP issue - such as Schwarzenegger or Giuliani's place at the GOP convention - then that is something completely different.

This is something you are just going to have to get used to. The Republican party is leaving you behind on issues like this, and it will only continue. You can't call pro-choice Republicans "RINOs", because as the tent gets bigger, they will quickly become the clear party majority. This is a simple matter of fact. It's something I've been trying to drive home, like it or not. You can't stop it, but you have your choices. You can either continue to support Republicans because of the over-riding common goals we all share, or you can leave the party or refuse to vote, ensuring Democrat control and a leftist, liberal agenda in every area of American policy.

I'm saying this because it will happen, and you will be confronted by it sooner or later. Abortion is going to remain legal, like it or not. The more important question now is: are you going to surrender free-market capitalism, US soverignity, and American hegemony to the world government socialists as well, just to spite the party?

I see your still confused. Open your eyes you Libertarian heathen. Look under the Party Platform:Renewing Family and Community

The Supreme Court’s recent decision, prohibiting states from banning partial-birth abortions — a procedure denounced by a committee of the American Medical Association and rightly branded as four-fifths infanticide —shocks the conscience of the nation. As a country, we must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions. We oppose using public revenues for abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life.

Our goal is to ensure that women with problem pregnancies have the kind of support, material and otherwise, they need for themselves and for their babies, not to be punitive towards those for whose difficult situation we have only compassion. We oppose abortion, but our pro-life agenda does not include punitive action against women who have an abortion. We salute those who provide alternatives to abortion....

From the essay, "Abortion and The Conscience of a Nation", by President Ronald Reagan 1983

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning."
