Amen! Bump for Life. Never Rudy!
Amen.
I find it interesting that when a pol supports the killing of babies, it pretty well defines this person’s position on other issues. Pro Abortion pols carry not a single drop of Conservative blood.
“NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE”
Darn tootin’
Life is the standard of all value.
life
As far as I am concerned, Life is the only issue. That means NO RUDY!!!!
“Don’t Cut and Run, vote pro-life every time. “
It is the only criteria I have and will be until it is no longer needed, and abortion is a crime.
Let me first say I wholeheartedly agree with this thread.
The right to life is not just a “Plank” in the Republican Party; it is the heart and soul of the Party. When the heart stops the body dies and the soul departs.
This is what’s at stake for the GOP. Nominating a lifelong Pro-Abortion supporter for President would give the Party a catastrophic and severe heart attack, which might be fatal to the Party. It will damage the entire Conservative movement. Most importantly it will severely damage the Country.
Many people from various perspectives say, “there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties”. If the GOP nominates a Pro-Abort to the highest office in the land that will most certainly be the case, there would be one party with a Dem wing and a RINO wing. It would be a disaster.
The GOP has been sliding left for a long time. Nominating a pro-abort for the White House will be its death-knell.
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
Bump!
What many people don’t seem to understand is that the “abortion issue” is the “slavery issue” of our time.
In the case of slavery, you didn’t have simple opinions about it. It was a part of who you were. Either the slaves were human beings, fully deserving of all the rights and privileges of any other human being, or they were less than fully human.
There really isn’t any difference in the thinking about abortion. Either it’s a human baby, or it isn’t. It’s really that simple. And that belief is a defining part of who you are.
And if you believe that this is a baby, then killing that baby is immoral under any but the most extreme circumstances, and is the taking of an innocent life, which is, at the very least, manslaughter or homicide.
On the other hand, if you see the fetus as just a bunch of cells, then I suppose it’s no different than having a wart removed. Just more expensive and invasive. But that begs a question: At what point does that bunch of cells become a baby? Unfortunately, some people actually believe that doesn’t occur until WELL AFTER BIRTH, at least according to certain “bio-ethicists.”
That’s why I don’t believe that there can ever be a “truce” between the pro-life and pro-abortion groups.

By which standard is this true? Is this to say freedom is worth less than life? Is this to say self-respect is worth less than life? Is this to say principles are worth less than life?
How many men, women and children have died to protect freedom? Is that to say they shouldn't have forfeited their lives so we could have freedom? Is that to say those who would not live under the yoke of oppression would have been better off if they would have willingly accepted tyranny and despotism? Is that to say one should abandon his or her principles to save one's life?
I don't believe so. Martyrdom has a long history in defense of a cause. Paying a price with one's own life is often the necessary cost for principle.
JUST SAY NO TO ABORTION !!!Bump in support.

Thus far I’m with FDT. Keep up the good works Jim and thank you once again for your leadership and a great forum.
It is my hope that the percent Giuliani has in the polls is the percent of the Republican Party that doesn’t share you view. That makes him the leader in a field of seven or eight but won’t work in a field of two or three.
If he doesn’t dominate the early primaries when the field is crowded, I don’t see him winning states when the race has whittled down to the last few choices. I think the social conservative wing of the party is more than the 25-29% that Giuliani attracts.
