From Wiki.. "Steele is opposed to abortion including in cases of rape and incest, but regarding Roe v. Wade itself, Steele has said that the principle of stare decisis ought to be followed."
Is that pro choice??

Not only is it Pro-choice, it is PRO ABORTION. It is essentially the same position that people like Nancy Pelosi take.

Roe is the roadblock to all pro-life legislation. Steele pretends to be against abortion, but he is against removing the single obstacle that blocks all efforts to preserve life.

Steele is a hypocrite and his effective position is Pro-Abortion.

Although the doctrine of stare decisis does not prevent reexamining and, if need be, overruling prior decisions, "It is . . . a fundamental jurisprudential policy that prior applicable precedent usually must be followed even though the case, if considered anew, might be decided differently by the current justices.

It sounds to me as though Steele is an advocate of the law. I wish more judges could say the same rather than legislating from the bench.

From all I can gather that he has said and done, he is definitely pro life.

Pro-life Republicanism is mainstream of America

Q: African-American. Republican. Catholic. Pro-life. Does that put you in a little box?

A: It puts me in the mainstream of America, baby. What you just laid out is one way to describe Michael Steele. The other way to describe him is he's a brother who cares about the working man and woman. As an African-American, I think it's time that we respect the fact that there is a wide range of opinion and diversity of thought. Kweisi Mfume doesn't represent every black voice in Maryland. I don't represent every black voice in Maryland. And Ben Cardin certainly doesn't either. The reality is that this will be an election about voices, and the people of this state will get to hear a lot of voices. They'll gravitate to the one that resonates in their hearts and in their minds.

But, I'm really not interested in a holy war over the subject. To me what's important is would he be a good RNC Chairman and I believe that he would.
