I’m just waiting for the Democrat rhetoric to go from “She shouldn’t be running if she has that baby to take care of,” to “She should have had an abortion.”

The Republican Party is no less Pro-abortionist then the Democrats (where the majority of the Catholics are). This is something newly created. The Evangelical make up only a portion of the Republican Party, and last time I checked McCain is no Evangelical (except when he needs to be).

He voted for stem-cell research, and in an interview in February of this years, he states his usual mumbo-jumbo rhetoric, correcting himself as he goes along:

How can you support a woman and the rights of the unborn? And what does that mean "support the rights?" Some people support aboriton in cases of rape and incest. Others are against any abortion.

Let's not forget that a large segment of the Republican Party is pro-choice, and that any attempt to make the Party platform fully pro-life will alienate a numbe rof Liberal Republicans.

So, I wouldn't be so sure about McCain's success this Fall. If anything, I would read his biography first.

The democrat party is 100% pro-abortion - 100% all abortion all the time, 100% state-paid abortion at all times - even past delivery (per Obama’s own preference to kill living babies accidentally delivered alive).

The republican party DOES respect life, and (fortunately) has had pro-life planks in their platform for many years. You are (sadly) confusing “women's rights” (in general) with “requiring abortion be state promoted” - which is, of course, the NOW position. THEY are the ones who hate and oppose Palin for being pro-life, despite the fact that she Palin is more a more successful “woman” than any NOW member.
