The problem with Mr. Steele's new position, in particular, is that it gives cover for all the anti-life politicians out there who would like to straddle the fence and be pro-Roe but still grab pro-life votes. Mr. Casey, Jr of Pennsylvania comes to mind. He was able to knock of Sen. Santorum in part because he ran as a pro-lifer. But he can vote for pro-abortion justices and justify voting against anti-Roe nominees, because, heck, EVEN THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ACCEPTS ROE! Yikes!
