You are always so picked on and it's always so personal with you.

Can't you just debate the issues without resorting to name calling and attacking?

You didn't like it when it was being done to during the Keyes campaign and you even called for the banning of people.

Chill out a bit and remember it's just an online debate.

Getting extreme like that only gives a bad name to your cause.

Over twenty five years ago, the pro-life movement made a decision, collectively, that two of the requirements for us to remain part of the Republican coalition was that 1) The Reagan pro-life platform remain intact, and 2) Both the presidential and the vice-presidential nominees of the party be pro-life.

National Right to Life's platform contains only one so-called 'exception': The life of the mother.

Even so, they, and most pro-life leaders have, grudgingly, accepted candidates like George W. Bush, who make a rape and incest exception that they consider to be philosophically silly and wrong, and, if implemented into law, a grave injustice.

Periodically, the tiny minority in the Party, the pro-choicers, make a run at the nomination and at the platform. Every time, they have been crushed completely and thoroughly, thank God.

Anyway, I don't know why anyone should be surprised if the pro-life movement, the heart and soul of the GOP, continues to stick to its guns. That's all that is going on here.
