I posted enough information to show Gore was pro-life in his earlier political career and that Dobson was telling the truth .

I posted enough information to show Gore was pro-life in his earlier political career and that Dobson was telling the truth .

Not really. Virtually all of the information you posted refers to the period of time Gore was a congressman, which is prior to 1985. Dr. Dobson said Gore was pro life in 1988, after Gore had been casting votes that were pro-abortion votes from 1985 to 1988 while in the Senate.

One of the few pieces of information you posted that refers to Gore’s Senate career was a 1987 quote from the inventor of the internet where he said:

In a May 26, 1987 letter to a constituent he wrote: "During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal."

That is a nice quote, but it is inconsistent with his pro-abortion votes from 1985 to 1988 regarding the use of Federal funds for abortions in DC.

Again, I respectfully disagree with you, and remain persuaded that Dobson was wrong when he said Gore was pro life in 1988. Below is the news account of what Dobson said.

And regarding the Gore campaign contribution, Dobson pointed out that in 1988 Al Gore was pro-life...

Most of your post referred to his time as a congressman prior to 1984. While in the Senate, Gore cast pro abortion votes from 1985 to 1988. If you can provide a record of some Gore Senate votes which support the contention he was Pro Life in 1988 - not speeches or quotes votes - I will review them and admit it if Dobson is right and I am wrong.
