Rice pointedly declined to rule out running for president in 2008 on Friday during an hour-long interview with reporters at WASHINGTON TIMES, top sources tell DRUDGE. Rice gave her most detailed explanation of a 'mildly pro-choice' stance on abortion, she would not want the government 'forcing its views' on abortion... She explained that she is libertarian on the issue, adding: 'I have been concerned about a government role'... Developing late Friday for Saturday cycles... MORE...
Every active pro-lifer has known that for years.
What gives you the idea that I didn't?
That must mean that you didn't vote for Bush.
You "sat that one out".
So tell me again....why do the Republicans need you to win?
But you absolutists have said you could NEVER vote for someone who is pro choice for ANY reason. And yet, Bush won and he makes three exceptions.
And I believe there was an article about Condi some time ago talking about the three exception rule as well.
It's you who is throwing crap into the air to see what lands on Condi.
One would think mildy would have the same meaning as rare exceptions
So if Cond used the words rare exceptions .. we wouldn't all be having this heated debate?
Please explain what is un-christian about my comment. Thank you.
Yes, they did...his name is Michael Peroutka.
"The abortion issue is important to me too, but I am more interested in whether Condi can kick ass and continue the Bush doctrine. I would rather have a "pro-choice" Condi than a "pro-life" McCain who always seems to grandstand and triangulate against conservatives on all other issues to show off for the media."
Nicely stated, thank you.
Abortion is one choice of several. If you don't want one, don't have one. All 3rd trimester abortions are wrong because the baby (and yes, it's always a baby) is viable outside the womb.
HA! Then I must run the local branch of the KKK.
I haven't said it's similar. I've said it's the same. Get a grip and try a little reading comprehension.
My mother was slowly dying because the baby inside her was dying. She had a 104 degree fever and nearly died. Her womb was scarred forever. Abortion was not an option in 1958. I have no siblings because of that. My father had to sit by her bedside and watch his wife almost die, then see a dead, green baby, then bury his only son by himself because she was hospitalized for weeks afterward. The resulting depression in both of them blackened our family for decades.
Unless you have been there, don't call my ideas moronic or trash. Try praying for me and the rest of us who can't get past the shades of gray here.
>No they don't.
Please enumerate how they differ.
Gov. Bush supports the following principles concerning abortion:
--Should be legal only in cases of incest, rape, or when the life of the woman is endangered
--Should be limited by waiting periods and parental notification requirements
--Prohibit partial-birth abortion.

I had other choice words to use after reading that post
But Jim's got rules around this place about language
That doesn't sound like the three exceptions rule to me.
Has she pushed for a CA with those three exceptions?
If I'm missing where she parrots W's stand precisely please link me. I do not consider W pro-abortion. i wish he were doing more but so far his domestic stuff seems to be spinning this term...except the tort reform which he greased thry fairly easy. (rape, incest,mother's life or death to be more precise...that clause is easily abused)
Every interview I've seen says she is "reluctantly pro-choice".
I have known two women who have had a similar experience, pamom. The men on this thread don't know what they are talking about.
They would be just as happy to let the woman AND the baby die.
Forget about them!
Bye bye Condi, and we hardly knew ye, until now.
It's been true for @ least the last 3 elections that I know of. I hope that as the GOP moves further to the Left, their base will look elsewhere.
It's not a matter of practicality alone. It is a matter of principle. A pro-choice person will protect the legality of abortion, will help to ensure that the murder of the unborn goes on. If you vote for such a person, you are indirectly helping to ensure the legality of the slaughter of the unborn.
