I am a pro-life, Republican mom of four young kids and I am offended by Riordan's position. Not only is he so-called "pro-choice", he is militantly so.

It is a well-standing lie that women are overwhelmingly pro-choice. Women are by and large PRO-LIFE, but they are so ridiculed by society, the media, and militant pro-aborts that they remain silent on the issue, quietly voting or sitting out elections because they can't stomach their choices.

Lungren didn't lose because he was pro-life, he lost because he ran an awful campaign, was boring and uninspiring, and had no message. The L.A. Times did an exit poll that showed that people who said that abortion was one of the deciding factors in their decision in the race, voted 13% for Lungren and 12% for Davis, a slight edge for the pro-life Lungren!

Riordan is liberal straight down the ticket, not just on abortion. And I, for one, can not stomach people who think that the right to kill innocent unborn babies without anesthesia should be a deciding factor on who should represent us.

Sadly, Roe v. Wade is the law of the land right now. However, we can change the hearts and minds of the American people by talking about the realities of abortion and giving real, compassionate alternatives to women faced with an unwanted pregnancy.

Riordan is just more of the same, another white guy who doesn't realize that abortion destroys more than one life.

Here's a great link that totally substantiates that women are prolife.

I, for one, will NEVER settle for Riordan, who is more liberal than Davis.

The Dick Riordan Agenda:

"If you're pro-choice, you're more pro- environment, pro-education, and anti-guns. It's not just a single issue. It tells a lot about a candidate."

Kinda clear what these people are trying to do - purge conservatives from the GOP.
