I don't know if that's true. Barbara Bush is pro-choice, certainly, but Bush Sr, whatever his private views may have been, stuck by the precedents set by Ronald Reagan. He was never loved by the pro-life movement, but he was intelligent enough not to actually DO anything that would offend them. He said very little on the issue and he did nothing to reverse Reagan's policies.
Dear Cicero,
George H.W. Bush was pro-abort before being selected by President Reagan to be his vice president. He "saw the light" to get the vice presidential nomination. He never wavered after that, but his was a political conversion of convenience.
I haven't found any direct quotes from him, but some googling reveals the general knowledge that prior to his selection for the No. 2 spot on the Republican ticket, he was pro-abortion. Here are a couple of links:

Bush Sr was personally pro-choice, but he agreed to lay his views aside on the issue - like you said, he just left it alone. Still, he gave us Clarence Thomas, and judges like him are critical to ending Roe vs Wade.
I think the #1 question to ask any candidate is for their idea of the model SC justice. If they firmly say strict constructionist, they're halfway there, IMHO.
I have reservations with Condi, but due to other things. Besides, I think it's unwise to start putting our focus on one person so soon. We need to have at least 4 people in line.
