As a Republican (party member, that is), perhaps you could help me locate the pro-life plank of their platform?

Sure, pilgrim. No problem. Btw, here's the link, to the Republican Party Platform. It's called Renewing Family and Community.

*********************************************************************************

"We oppose abortion....."

"The Supreme Court’s recent decision, prohibiting states from banning partial-birth abortions — a procedure denounced by a committee of the American Medical Association and rightly branded as four-fifths infanticide —shocks the conscience of the nation. As a country, we must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions. We oppose using public revenues for abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life."

The difference between the Republican platform and the Libertarian platform is like the difference between light and darkness.
