Once the candidate has been chosen, I'll vote straight Republican. I'm as pro-life as they come but not voting for the Republican candidate because they're not pro-life is cutting off our nose to spite our face.

I can even make a case to ALWAYS vote a straight Republican ticket, even if the R is pro-abortion and the D is pro-life.

On the legislative level, a pro-life Democrat is worthless unless they're in the minority. It's essential to keep Rs in the majority.

I vehemenently disagree with you, my dear friend, on both the moral and the strategic sense of that position.

On a purely 'practical' level, what I said remains true: abandoning the pro-life demand that our presidential ticket remain pro-life would lead to both short-term and long-term crushing defeat for the Republican Party.

Take it to the bank.
