Geez... the implication here is sheer overkill. If someone believes in abortion it means they are qualified for, well, nothing. What kind of logic is that?

It would be like depriving Liberace a piano because he's a bit foo-foo.

If one does not comprehend that abortion is a heinous crime against humanity, one is not qualified to serve a party whose official party platform states

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.

For God's sake, if we can't hold GOP politicians to this bare minimum, what the hell is a platform good for?

Let these pro-abort SOB's go join the Dems, or sit silent on the sidelines.

But do not appoint a pro-abort SOB who lobbied to remove the above paragraph from the GOP platform to ANY position in a "pro-life evangelical Christian GOP" president's administration!
