While Johnny Isakson is trying to cast himself as a pro-life conservative, his votes in Congress tell a different story. Though supporting some legislation to limit or discourage abortions, he has also voted to allow and encourage abortions by voting to allow distribution of RU-486 and to allow women in the military overseas to get abortions at federally-funded hospitals. He defends these positions by saying military women should be able to get abortions just like women in America. That's like saying that if women in the US are allowed to kill their unborn children, why shouldn't military women overseas. It's hard to see how that is a pro-life position. Also, by allowing RU-486, he helped bring about yet another method to destroy unborn life. That hardly seems a pro-life position. Pro-life conservative voters don't be taken in by Isakson's current rhetoric. His record and past rhetoric show what he truly believes and how he would vote in the Senate if elected. We need a candidate who will be consistent in his support for life and who will give us straight talk.

The GA Senate primary threads are turning into the NC-05 primary threads.

Exactly! How dare Isakson attend a Christian Coalition forum and pretend he's pro-life. Mac is the only candidate with a proven 100% voting record to defend innocent life.
