I am not for special rights, but I support anyone to live the life they want to live..just not force it on me. I am pro choice, I hate abortion, but I don’t see how it can be outlawed now...it is not the issue I care the most about. Anything else you want to know? I live in Arizona.

Here's the rub: I don't think Michael Steele even wants to change the GOP's stand on abortion. He specifically said: "Moderates in our party, and liberal elements outside it, have tried to steer this debate toward the suggestion that we need to change our core views, desert our convictions and give up our conservative philosophy. This is nonsense. The country did not become liberal on November 4th. In fact, just the reverse is true." Am wondering how many have actually read it.

He then goes on to cite American Survey polls showing 69% of Americans are conservative on fiscal issues, and 53% on social issues.

I think that you, a pro-choicer, and I, a pro-lifer, would agree that present abortion policy - on-demand, for any reason, on a woman of any age, with no parental consent, and at taxpayers' expense - is far too radical a policy for America. We may even agree that abortion is painful for a woman on many levels, something she does not wish to dwell upon, and that it should never be celebrated in the rather cavalier manner that characterizes much of the hardcore pro-choice Left. And, lastly, we might agree with an ultimate goal of a society in which abortion is no longer perceived as necessary.
