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.

I couldn't read the link that you provided. But the general philosophy that Steele professes is similar from other articles.

I absolutely agree - 100% - with what you so eloquently wrote.
