If we lose interest or lose heart the party will be greatly the weaker for it.
Actually, the party would be much stronger if it could get rid of you guys. Whatever votes the party would lose, it would gain twofold as many otherwise conservative people vote democratic because they are pro-choice.
The Republican party is dependent on you guys now because they've ran off all of the pro-choice conservatives. You guys showed your loyalty in 2000 by staying home after Bush's DUI arrest was made public.
If the conservative movement could some how become less dependent on you guys, we could win over millions of others that you guys currently alienate and scare.
You think you guys swung the election? See how many votes Bush would have gotten if he had proposed a national health care system or proposed rolling back the tax cuts. See how many votes Bush would have gotten if he had proposed the idea of a 'global test' for determining our military actions. Only nut jobs put abortion as the #1 issue. While Most people (even conservatives) don't even care all that much.
If the republican party changed its platform to pro-choice tomorrow, they'd do just as well in 2008 as without you. In fact, I predict the republicans will lose the house and senate in 2006 because you guys are making so much noise that it scares off the non-nutjob conservatives. After that, where will you guys be? You think you'll get any pro-life choices affirmed after that?

Pro-life is the only reason I voted for Bush or any Republican, I agree with them on virtually nothing else.

Read the link in 200; the GOP isn't dependent on them anymore.

It is disgusting that you think that the lives of 1.3 million innocent children per year are simply a political football for you and the Republican Party to toss about.
