At the same time, the party weighed an energy policy acknowledging the human imprint on climate change.
“GOP takes a hard line on abortion for its platform”
This is a good thing and hopefully indicates a strong VP pick is in the offing.
I agree that the environmental cave-ins are disappointing, but the most valuable stand we can take for eternity’s sake is in defense of the unborn. The contrast between Dem and Pub platforms should be striking in that regard.
According to the article, McCain was against this change.
It sure does not sound that way based on the trial balloons Mccain has floated.
Good for us!!
Perhaps, but without a constitutional amendment or the Right to Life Act passing and being upheld in the courts, it will continue unabated.
One of the many many reasons I supported Duncan Hunter who has been a champion of the unborn his entire career. Mccain is a weak sister by comparison.
However, on global warming, enough RINOS will side with the democrats to serve up Mccain or Obama a disastrous bill that will cripple our economy and roll us into the ‘new world order’.
“It sure does not sound that way based on the trial balloons Mccain has floated.”
That, my FRiend is why they are called “trial balloons.”
IMO, McCain is not the Republican Party any more than an assault suspect IS his victim.
Intelligent people want to know, AP!
1. Put a resolution up in Congress stating that killing a five day old infant is wrong. See how the Dhims vote. Do not tell the Dhims what you have in plan.
2. Keep putting up the same resolution subtracting one day from the infants life each time until you get to birth. Some Dhims (like Obama) will vote negative at this point.
3. Then put up a bill to make third term abortions illegal.
4. After the Dhims have voted against it, run an add campaign to shame them. “Does a baby really magically become human only after birth?”
Additionally, the Republicans should put up a resolution confirming the need to protect the eggs of all protected bird species based on the scientific fact that these embryos are obviously already a living member of their species. Or if they were really brave they would do the opposite and suggest a bill decriminalizing the destruction of such eggs based on an inability to reach a consensus about when life begins. After all, how can you say that an egg is an eagle, but human embryo is just a cell mass?
Perhaps. But I trust Mccain on this about as far as I trust him on Global Warming and Illegal Aliens. In other words, not one bit.
You have that right. I do like the position on abortion, but this idea of a statement on Global Warming is absurd.
“Perhaps. But I trust Mccain on this about as far as I trust him on Global Warming and Illegal Aliens. In other words, not one bit.”
Agreed.
Glad my parents were Pro-life. I love you, dad and mom.

Boxer I’m not answering these questions
to see a transcript of Boxer on the Senate floor stating that a baby isn’t a baby until “you take it home from the hospital”.
