“It is not. The Reagan pro-life platform which has been in place since 1984 recognizes the personhood of the unborn, and their protection by the Fourteenth Amendment.”
Yes it is REPUBLICAN ideology that wants STATES not the FEDERAL government to determine issues like this. Bush Sr. abandoned this or was it GWB. You cannot ASSUME the Republican platform will have a PRO LIFE plank. BTW did you know the platform CHANGES for the Republicans? We don't have the same one since Reagan. You sorely need to look at a Republican website that discusses this stuff. I'm quite sure that it was Geroge Bush SENIOR that allowed for abortion in the case of rape and incest. THAT CHANGED the platform from Reagan in regard to abortion. Look it up.
“A position McCain and Palin do not hold.”
PERSONALLY LIVES what she knows is right - don't kill your baby!
“The fact that you didn't kill you baby is not a pro-life credential. If it were you would have to consider Hillary Clinton “pro-life” because she didn't kill Chelsea.”
Stop it already!
Sarah Palin had the IMMEDIATE choice of killing Trig while he was in her womb. He was “defective” according to abortionists. Unlike Hitlery, Chelsea was not considered “defective” - there is absolutely no comparison. Sarah had an “excuse” to terminate the pregnancy. Hitelery wouldn’t have - accept if she simply didn't want that. At least use LOGICAL comparisons.
Hitlery makes no bones about it. She verbally ENDORSES ABORTION. Sarah Palin is VERBALLY AGAINST abortion and LIVES what she believes. Sarah has stated she is AGAINST abortion.
“You don't realize it, but you're making a pro-”choice” argument, not a pro-life one. “
No, YOU are.
You still don't understand Republican CORE ideology.
Republicans want decisions at the STATE level. They want to respect STATES RIGHTS.
Demoncrats want decisions made at the FEDERAL LEVEL to trample STATES RIGHTS.
It's AWLAYS BEEN THIS WAY.
Maybe you’re not a Republican - that's okay but understand some of the differences between Republican ideology and Democrat ideology and what a political platform and plank is. That might help clear up your confusion.
Again, as a Republican I have now moved the issue of abortion to the FEDERAL LEVEL. I no longer have confidence for STATES to make the proper ruling on this. I want ABORTION BANNED at the FEDERAL LEVEL so NO STATE can offer LEGAL ABORTIONS. I find the issue of the unborn and those about to be born that important.
You are very confused.
If they’re protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, as the Republican platform asserts, they are protected on every square inch of American territory. Why can’t you understand this simple fact? Even “Justice” Blackmun, the author of Roe, understood this.
