The pro-life cause was set back when pro-lifers set up camp in the GOP.

IM2Phat4U posted an article in another thread which showing some interesting exit poll information: Of those voting Republicans whose primary voting concern was abortion, 58% voted of Bush and 41% voted for Gore.

That should be a major wake up for the GOP. There are a hefty number of Republicans who voted outside their party because of abortion.

*Sigh*

Again, you folks are tying the fate of the pro-life cause to the fate of the Republican party -- a largely white, protestant, anti-environment, anti-union organization. Abortion is legal, and they that's gonna be changed forever is when we stop tying the pro-life cause to politics, and start changing hearts.

Change hearts, and legislation will follow. Changing legislation without changing hearts will not produce lasting results for the cause.

Do we want lasting results and changed hearts, or do we simply want a political issue to beat people over the head with?
