It sounds like you are assuming that a pro-abort '08 candidate is inevitable. I don't think it is: our candidate selection is free-market driven, supply-and-demand. There's no invisible hand (besides the free-market within the GOP) that will force us to select someone with whose views we disagree.

I'm still undecided about Condi. Need to hear more. I'd also factor in the makeup of the SCOTUS in '08 into the decision.

I agree. This Condi "cunundrum" will be worked out in the Republican Primaries. The abortion issue will be dealt with through appointment of judges. I don't think Washington politicians have the brass to address it head on. It would be as bloody as this thread has been. If we follow the constitution, and not the world view of a few supreme court justices, this issue will be returned to the states where it belongs. Then the Red/Blue state will declare their will. It is a long and rocky road we travel.
