My point is that there is much substance in the GOP platform that contrasts directly with the DNC platform. Pro-life is an important issue, but one of many. There were solid Republicans before abortion ever became a huge political issue.

I'm just saying that it is possible to believe deeply in other aspects of the GOP platform even if someone is still "misguided" or "un-Christian" enough to be pro-choice.

Has anyone from our side thought about contacting Arnold if he gets into office and show him how terrible abortion really is? I doubt he's ever been exposed to the material and pictures that really drive it home.

You don't just 'contact' people like Arnold. They are surrounded by a phalanx of security and staff all of the time.

Having to try and change a politician's mind about such a fundamental issue after he is already in office is almost completely hopeless.

Appreciate your thoughts, though.

Believing in other aspects of the GOP platform makes it all better if you believe that killing babies is perfectly OK!!? Is that all the mass slaughter of innocent children means to you - that it is simply something in a plank of the GOP party platform that is negotiable and potentially unnecessary!??

Opposing abortion is not simply a convenient position or a political football. It is the defining issue of our day. Either you're for killing children or you are against it. There is no middle ground.
