That is precisely why pro-lifers tend to be so cynical about it. Republicans in Congress were all in favor of a late-term abortion ban when they knew Clinton would veto it, but their "courage" disappeared once the party was in a position to ensure that anything they passed would be signed into law.

So now Republicans are condemned for voting Pro-life! Do you think that you might be setting too high a standard, if you condemn them regardless of how they vote? (sarcasm off)

When were the Republicans in "position" to make pro-life laws? After the last election? Wrong We lost pro-life votes after the last election. We don't have any thing close to a pro-life/conservative majority.

Hey, I understand exactly what you are saying, but when was the last time a Republican Congressional candidate actually made abortion a major campaign issue?

You know something is up when you look at the "conversions" on this issue. There are lots of people who were formerly pro-abortion that are now strong pro-life advocates. Nobody changes their mind the other way except limp-wristed Republicans who decide that a pro-life stand is a political liability.

I met a guy a few years ago who is now a Republican Congressman. Married to a former National Right to Life spokeswoman and everything else. If this guy represents the future of the pro-life movement in Congress, then we are doomed.
