We didn't do that when the issue involved slavery.

No. We went to war. Is that what you want?

Just what sense does it make to have every elective race in the United States, from the Presidency down to town councils, be a confrontation on abortion? To me it doesn't make sense. It's suicidal. It alienates those who would otherwise eventually change their feelings and join us.

Does the fact that a candidate for governor may be "pro-choice" say to you that he would be a total disaster in attempting to govern a state and perhaps bring some other non-liberals along with him?

And just how "pro-choice" is he? You know damned well - or you should know - that if he came out and said that he was pro-life that's the only issue that the citizens of Massachusetts would hear from now until election day. Does that really make sense to you?

I assume that you vote for your mayor/county executive and councilpersons. Do you ask each one of them if they are pro-life? How about the people in your community association?

To be truthful its not necessary to have to say it at every campaign stop. But I don't think its necessary to act like one has to be shamed or look like one has to apologize for one's view. Romney would have earned my respect if he said I'm pro-life and left it at that. People would still vote for someone they disagreed with on the issue, but no one respects the craven politician who tucks tail with the winds in order to gain power.
