Well, I too voted for both Alan Keyes and Tom Hoefling, so we belong to a very small group indeed. (I supported Rick Santorum in 2012 until he dropped out.) But the website at your link is curious at best. If indeed you despise Santorum for his lack of ardent support for life, then of necessity, according to your chart, this means that you despise even more National Right to Life, Focus on the Family, Phyllis Schlafly and LifeNews, since they are listed on that chart as being even worse than Santorum. Given all of that, exactly whom are you supporting this cycle?

There are times when ardent would be nice, like as a counter to Hillary's comment in recent debate characterizing pro-life as pro-big government, but my minimum standard for candidates on right to life is quite straightforward: The Constitution requires that no person be deprived of their life without due process, yet on a typical day in the US, thousands of persons are deprived of their lives without due process. I do not support any candidate who would vote for, or sign into law, legislation that codifies any such unconstitutional deprivation of life.
I don't despise those who fail to meet my minimum standard.
None of the big name candidates this year meet my minimum standard. Maybe America's Party will again nominate someone who comes close to representing my views on a wide range of important issues.
What a pleasure to meet somebody else who voted for Keyes in 2008 and Hoefling in 2012. Best wishes.
