“He is not running for a religious office.”
What does that have anything to do with anything?
It doesn't preclude him from saying what is objectively true.
It doesn't prevent him from speaking forcefully and forthrightly, rather than relativizing and softening his positions.
“And he said nothing that convinces me he is pro-abortion.”
Different folks come to different conclusions. I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to come to the conclusion that you've come to.
But I think it's also eminently reasonable that based on the remarks he made in the 2006 Senatorial campaign, it is appropriate to move him from the column marked, “adamantly pro-life,” to the column marked, “not sure if he's pro-life at all.”
Note - I didn't say, “to the column marked, ‘pro-abortion.’”
But as I've said before, the Chairman of the Republican Party must be clearly and adamantly pro-life.
Or I will no longer be a Republican.

Well, you brought it up with your introduction of religious conviction seeing things in black and white terms. Glad to see you agree there's no place for such in the political realm.
