Saying Steele is pro Roe-v--Wade based on that interview is taking it a bit far. He never stated his personal stance, only that he would respect the laws as they were currently written but felt that the issue should have been left up to the states.

What he said is he is "pro state's rights" and "respects the laws that exist until they are changed". I also believe that he is correct, Constitutionally speaking.

All in all, I can respect that.

He said stare decisis should hold Roe V Wade as law. This, absent there being even a tangential passage in the Constitution giving the Fedgov authority in this area. Coupled with some of his other stances, it's cause for concern.

He's better than some of the other alternatives, but he's not exactly pristine either. We saw what that got us with McIdiot.
