Agreed
I am pro-life.
I’m not voting for him.
It would certainly re-define conservatism.
Ignoring the social issues for the moment...
There’s another good reason that Rudy shouldn’t be the nominee...
BERNIE KERIK.
I couldn’t live with myself if I voted for him. It’s just not going to happen.
I find Rudy’s name on a company that does business with cuckoo Chavez more disturbing than his age old position on abortion.
You’re up late. Got insomnia? I do, and I might break my three day record of no bleepin’ sleep.
Good article. Thanks for posting. Jim, thanks for everything that you have done.
(I'm not pro-abortion either; I'm kind of a weaselly moderate in that one respect. While I think that most women who get 'abortions of convenience' will 'burn in hell' for it, I don't think it is MY right to force them not to.... I know I'd rather have been killed before I reached full awareness than grow up unwanted and despised by my parents.)
I'll work against Guliani until the primaries are over. If, God Forefend, he is the Republican nominee, I'll hold my nose and vote for him as the lesser of the evils. (There is only one GOP candidate that I will not vote for under any circumstances... {Call him 'Maverick'}).
But in the meantime, I'm praying that FRED! enters the race soon, or that a miracle happens and Duncan Hunter, (or even Tom Tancredo) get competitive enough to stand 'a snowball's chance".
The right to life is fundamental and vital to ALL our rights.
I’ve said it before and I’m going to keep saying it. This election isn’t about abortion. Or guns. It’s about who is the best choice to defeat the clintns and lead the Global War on Terror.
Think about it: is President Giuliani going to force your daughter to have an abortion? Is he going to take away your precious gun? Of course not.

“Failure to vote for ANY candidate opposing a Hillary is a vote for Hillary.”
Even if the two have essentially the same political convictions? You are delusional. If the GOP can do no better than the liberal abortionist, gungrabbing, queer-bot Giuliani, it deserves a very hard fall.
You vote for Giuliani. You tell Congress it’s okay to regulate your Second Amendment rights away.
Not me.
You vote for Giuliani. You tell Congress it’s okay to require you embrace homosexual unions equal to your marriage vows, regardless of your religious convictions.
Not me.
You vote for Giuliani. You tell Congress it’s okay to allow a baby to be slaughtered as long as its head is still partially concealed and that you have no choice but to help fund those “procedures”.
Not me.
And you vote for Giuliani. You tell Congress it’s okay that they require you believe the government is the all-powerful, final authority - not the people from whom that power comes and you must cede any of your rights upon its demand.
Definitely, not me.

I stand by my conviction.
NO !
“Thought crimes” on the radar:
Christians in bull’s-eye in new ‘hate crimes’ plan [Urgent we block Giuliani and gay agenda!]

Goodnight all.
DUNCAN HUNTER’S POSITION ON ABORTION/RIGHT TO LIFE -
1. Right to Life Amendment:
I would amend the U.S. Constitution and provide blanket protection to all unborn children from the moment of conception by prohibiting any state or federal law that denies the personhood of the unborn. Likewise, I have also introduced the Right to Life Act, which would legally define “personhood” as the moment of conception and, therefore, guarantee all constitutional rights and protections, including life, to the unborn without utilizing a constitutional amendment.
2. Federal laws relating to abortion and human life protections (e.g, embryonic research and end of life, etc.):
There are several areas of federal law that require human life protections. I have cosponsored the following pieces of legislation:
The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which would amend the federal criminal code to prohibit transporting a minor across state lines to obtain an abortion, if this action circumvents the minor’s native state’s parental involvement law. I voted in favor of this bill when it passed the House 270-157 on April 27, 2005.
The Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2005, which would prohibit and criminalize efforts at reproductive cloning.
The Parent’s Right to Know Act of 2005, which would prohibit federal funding to carry out federal family planning programs in which service providers in the project knowingly provides contraceptive drugs or devices to a minor, except in specific circumstances.
The Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act of 2006, which would require abortion providers to notify women who want to have an abortion 20 weeks after fertilization that the evidence suggests their unborn child feels pain and they may request anesthesia for their unborn child in order to reduce or eliminate the pain.
I have also supported human life protection efforts with the following votes:
I supported the Fetus Farming Prohibition Act, banning the practice of fetal farming, the creation of embryos specifically for the purposes of scientific research.
I voted in favor of the Alternative Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapies Enhancement Act, which would direct federal funding to stem-cell research that does not rely on embryos.
I voted against the Stem-Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005, which would have directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct and support research that utilizes human embryonic stem-cells, regardless of the date on which the stem-cells were derived from a human embryo.
I voted against amendments offered to the National Defense Authorization Act permitting taxpayer funded military facilities overseas to be used to support abortions on demand for military women and military dependents.
I voted against amendments providing UN funding to groups that support coercive abortion programs.
Agreed!
Rudy is pro abortion and pro gun control. Those are the two major reasons why the media is pushing him.
Republicans can do much better. republican’s great weakness is that they cannot compete in the political arena.
Republicans are, I’m sorry to say, wimps. They can only win by default.
“Abortion opponents can ill afford to give up their leverage in the GOP. Their position has little support among the cultural elite; many in the Republican establishment would like nothing better than to ‘get beyond issues like that.’”
There’s the money quote.
The white shoes, country club Republicans just aren’t happy with us social conservatives. They’ll take our votes as long as we shut up and ride the back of the bus.
I’m not going to vote for their candidate for president.
For later.
" Right to Life -- Governor Thompson is strongly pro-life and signed one of the nation’s first partial-birth abortion bans. Under Thompson, the number of adoptions in Wisconsin increased by 22 percent, while the number of abortions decreased by 37 percent. Just as he did in Wisconsin, Thompson would appoint strict constructionist judges who do not legislate from the bench."
