WOULD CONDI RICE AND COLIN POWELL BE "PRO-CHOICE" ON SLAVERY?

"Condoleeza Rice, Bush's much-expected pick as national security adviser, has described herself as ‘reluctantly pro-choice.’

" ‘What if I described myself as reluctantly pro-slavery?’ [Douglas] Scott [President of Life Decisions International] retorted. ‘I mean, we are all reluctant to make hard choices.’ ...

At this point, I don't really see what difference it would make if the GOP were to run "mildly" pro-choice candidates at the national level. The party is already operationally pro-abortion (it does nothing to even discourage abortion, while claiming it is pro-life). This whole issue is complicated by the fact that so many people evidently see abortion far too simplistically. For example, it is possible for a pro-choice politician who supports serious abortion controls to be much more effective in saving unborn babies than a "pro-life" politician who won't act on his position due to fear of political consequences, or due simply to the fact that he is not really pro-life at all. I mean, isn't the goal here to save lives and cut this dirty practice out of our cultural mainstream, or is it to simply elect politicians who claim to be pro-life to public office? I would challenge any of you to explain to me the benefit of electing "pro-lifers" who do nothing to save the unborn?

And, by the way. I would do a thousand jumping jacks in the nude while on a highway overpass as the 70's classic "Macho Man" blares from my boombox before I would vote for Colin Powell for dog catcher. So, no one should interpret this post as a defense of these RINOs. I'm simply saying they're not really much worse than what we have now.

Pro-Life Bump.

Actually Satcher has resigned and will be the president or something of a black college. He'll be gone pretty soon.

Well nearly 65 million voters voted for pro-choice presidential candidates in 1992. I don't think Condi Rice being moderately pro-life would hurt the ticket's chances.
