Once again, the Republican Party's actions do not match their rhetoric. They do nothing to support or advance the pro-life cause, yet they demand the support of pro-life voters.

Arlen Specter is installed as Judiciary chairman and proceeds to hire a liberal pro-abort from the NAACP to be his guy on judicial nominations after promising that he wouldn't use his committee to block the President's nominees. Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales, who had a pro-abortion record on the Texas Supreme Court, says he does not think Roe vs. Wade should be disturbed.

Why do pro-lifers continue supporting a party that gives them nothing but rhetoric and never intends to give them anything but rhetoric?

Why do lying liberals, Democrats and Libertarians always feel the need to pretend they are conservatives?

Americans are not quitters! I'm positive that we can break the current murder rate by abortion if Americans work together! C'mon! Let's go for 90 million people killed! We can do it! /"it's a human stupid" (dripping sarcasm off)

And the Democrats have done what in defense of human life?

I'd still rather support the man who claims to support human life, albeit half-heartedly, than the man who condemns it to death.

Let me propose a new acronym: PLINO (Pro-Life In Name Only). A "pro-life" Senator or Representative who does not favor the use of Article 3 of the Constitution to remove abortion from the purview of the Supreme Court is a PLINO. Wringing his hands and pretending that nothing can be done until (at some indeterminate point) the makeup of the Court is changed (and PLINOs often vote for pro-abortion Justices BTW) may make good political cover (his goal), but it essentially makes his claim to be "pro-life" a lie, in the same manner as if I were to claim to be "anti-rape" but then looked on and did nothing while a woman was being attacked.

And, at the State level, open defiance of the Supreme Court must be left in the playbook. One individual state won't be enough, but imagine if an entire swatch of the country, from North Dakota to Texas, decided to legislate against abortion anyway and simply told the Fed gubmint to go to h*ll. Any State "pro-life" legislator who insists on absolute fealty to the Supreme Court (as though it were God) is also a PLINO.
