BOSTON — In another step to distance himself from his party, Massachusetts Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is asking GOP leaders to be more inclusive on the issue of abortion.
In a letter released Tuesday, Brown asks Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, to drop the anti-abortion plank in the party platform.
“If we are to grow and succeed in all parts of this great nation, we must be a ‘big-tent’ party,” Brown wrote. “There are people of goodwill on both sides of the abortion issue, and we need to send a message to voters that there is room in the Republican Party for differing perspectives.”

Didn’t he just call for the guy in Missouri to step down?
He needs to do this for cover. I live in the Boston TV market. They are killing him in Boston over this Akin fiasco. It has been non stop.
Unborn need not apply for Good Will.
Personally, I would rather have God on our side than more (Rino) Republicans, and I don’t see how advocating baby-killing is going to endear us to our heavenly Father
Because attacking him now will help the fauxahontas witch win the election and she would be so much better I assume.
This is why the GOP as an entity is pretty much dead to me
LOL....good one.
;-\
That “big tent” would be a third party real quick
Lets weed the clown out. Start looking for a candidate to replace the phoney right now. We can easily do without somebody like him.
Transfer the funds from his campaign to Akin’s. A more reliable vote in the Senate anyway. And Brown may win anyway.
I dislike RINOs, especially elsewhere.
But in MA it’s a RINO or a D I think. A strong conservative can’t win there, probably. So, I’ll take the RINO who will caucus with Rs and vote to cut taxes and spending, and keep the military strong.
We already lost Missouri. Should we now lose Massachusetts too over abortion (in a far far left state).
I am strongly pro life. But live firmly in realville.
Scott brown will repeal Obamacare. The moonbat Warren will not.
Scott Brown should be thankful for his job and shut up. If he is for abortion then he is on the wrong team and should hit the door!
He did, along with Sarah Palin, Levin, Hannity, Ashcroft, etc, etc, etc, and pretty much everyone else with an ounce of good political sense.
So what's your point? Think Palin is RINO establishment now?
Is this the first time it's been included or has the "no exception" rule always been there?
March 23, 2011 - in support of Planned Parenthood vs. cuts: “I support family planning and health services for women,” said Brown in a statement.
As with other Mass. politicians, he says he is pro-life, but when it comes to acting, he comes up short. He is better than the Dim running, it seems. But that is not saying much.
