As I said earlier, my personal transition to full pro-life at conception went through stages from pro-abortion, to pro-choice, to pro-rape/incest/life of mother, to pro-life at implantation, to life at conception. It was gradual over the years. I believe if someone really had the time and energy, they could find me arguing for rape/incest/life of the mother as recently as 5-7 years ago.

We may be stuck with Newt as the nominee, but for a guy who has spent most of his adult life in politics he should have known better than to come out with this implantation garbage. I think most in the Pro-Life movement agree to the exceptions for rape/incest/life of the mother because they recognize you can not get broad support without those exceptions. Newt revealed a lack of critical thinking by buying into the garbage that the zygote is just a bunch of cells that science should be able to use at it sees fit.

I would urge Newt supporters to think twice about him. If he's POTUS there is no doubt he would be 100x's better than obama, but I don't think he's the small govt conservative everyone thinks he is.

From a realistic standpoint, the only "conservative" standing between Romney and the nomination is Gingrich. If we all start having second thoughts about him, then the nomination will fall to Romney by default. Maybe it is you who needs to start thinking twice about Gingrich.

The Perry machine has blown a rod and I don't see the AAA truck anywhere near him. Newt has literally 10 times the support that Perry has right now. I realistically don't see that turning around. Money and organization can only buy you so much support. You can't buy a 30 point poll swing.
