Give me one iota of proof.

On two occasions recently, Oberweis, who is Catholic, explained that the reason he is not a pro-life candidate is because that would put him in the same camp with the Taliban. He was quoted in last Sunday's Springfield Journal Register as saying, "I think the Taliban is the best example that we've ever had about what is wrong about my trying to impose my religious views on you." On the "Steve Dahl Show" (WCKG-FM) on October 24, Oberweis said, "I think that right now we're getting a very, very strong symbol in the Taliban of what can happen if we try to impose our religious beliefs on others."

Chicago, IL-James Oberweis acknowledged Friday he is downplaying his opposition to a constitutional ban on abortion in appearances before Republican audiences to try to avoid criticism from his opponents in the three-way battle for the party’s U.S. Senate nomination...

When Oberweis announced his candidacy in November, he said he didn’t believe "bureaucrats in Washington belong in the decision-making process" on abortion.

Anyone who denies Jim Oberweis was pro-abortion before he was pro-life (ha!) is seriously deluded.

Give me one iota of proof.

I personally spoke to Mr. Oberweis at a Lincoln Day dinner during his first attempt at an elected office. He was definately running as a pro-choicer.
