Alan Simpson Says We Have "Rocks for Brains" 
A former U.S. Senator from Wyoming, Alan Simpson, in a column that appeared in the Washington Post (6/16/03), described pro-life Republicans as "steely-eyed zealots trying to inflict their personal views on others." Such people, Mr. Simpson says, must "have rocks for brains" if they believe the conflict over abortion is ever going to be resolved, reports Ken Connor in Family Research Council's 6/16 edition of Washington Update.

Alan Simpson is a pro-abortion member of the board of the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that has been trying for over ten years without success, to have the pro-life plank stricken from the Republican National Platform. He is a key figure in the new effort by a group called the Republican Unity Coalition, the principal organizers of which are Charles Francis, the homosexual brother of Jim Francis, a close personal friend of President Bush, and Mary Cheney, a self-described lesbian and the daughter of Vice-President Dick Cheney. The Republican Unity Coalition, with Mr. Simpson's help, seeks to make the Republican National Platform neutral on issues homosexual activists care about. Currently, the Republican Platform endorses "the traditional definition of "marriage" as the legal union of one man and one woman" and states, "we believe that federal judges and bureaucrats should not force states to recognize other living arrangements as marriages. The Platform further states Republican Party support for the Defense of Marriage Act and also, "we do not believe sexual preference should be given special legal protection or standing in law."

In a little more than a year, RNC/Life and our friends in the pro-life/pro-family coalition will go to the Republican National Convention in New York to once again battle against the forces represented by Alan Simpson, the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition and the Republican Unity Coalition. They are powerful, heavily funded, and have friends in very high places.

Our response will continue to be the expectation that the majority of Republicans want our Platform to continue to call for respect for innocent human life and support for traditional marriage and the family as the cornerstone of a stable society.

"a group that has been trying for over ten years without success, to have the pro-life plank stricken from the Republican National Platform. "

Candidates should be screened for Dolexia then held to the grass roots platform - truth in advertising. Will it be the 'rockhead' wing or the 'scissorshead' wing? Stay tuned to find if 'rock' still break 'scissors' or will 'paper' cover them both.

THE ROCK

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Psalm 139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 :I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 :My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 :Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,…

Isaiah 49:1 :
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

Matthew 18:5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Deuteronomy 30:19
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

Thou shalt not kill.

Dear former Senator,

Didn't people say the same thing about the issue of human slavery?

Best Wishes,

[Kevin Curry]

Among other things, Simpson supports gay marriage and abortion. Simpson is to traditional conservatism what Larry Flynt is to fine art, what spam is to fine dining.

All humans have rocks for brains...problem is the Democrats have liquid rocks.

Alan Simpson Says We Have "Rocks for Brains"

If he were speaking of himself and his moderate Jerry Ford friends, I would agree with him.

[Bluntpoint]

Real republicans grab soon-to-be born babies by the feet and slam their little heads against the pavement.

Well if it gets me invited to "club" with the "better" people, why not?

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Spoken like a true politician who wants only to win elections and never stand before God in His judgment.

[DPB101]

Alan Simpson must be understood in context. He is at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard now.

A wonder he isn't for mandatory sterilization and euthanasia as well as abortion.

[Bluntpoint]

The pathway to Hell is via triangulation.

[tkathy]

I don't think anyone is pro abortion. They just don't want to see this issue in the chaos of the worst legal system in the free world. The abortion issue should remain an issue of conscience rather than a criminal issue.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

He even looks like one!

[Iowegian]

I don't think anyone is pro abortion.

BS, whoever is not against abortion is for it.

[Brimack34]

In other words people: Do not stand up for your rights!!!
What the heck is he talking about.

[SwinneySwitch]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Perfect answer.

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

When a human fetus turns into something other than a human, then I will consider it something other than murder.

[PaxMacian]

When a woman implants a clone of herself into her womb, then I will believe it is a part of her body that she can do with as she will. Until then it is a genetically distinct living being.

[Iowegian]

Until then it is a genetically distinct living being.

You left out "human". BTW don't you believe in rights for genetically distinct living beings?
