Needless to say, this is BAD. But you know, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. The GOP has been purged of the only 3 Republicans endorsed by NARAL: Lincoln Chafee, Rob Simmons, and Nancy Johnson. In Texas, Dan Patrick, who is to introduce a trigger law that will outlaw abortion in the state if Roe is overturned, is in the lead. If the GOP isn't completely blind (although given this year's campaign...), maybe they will see that they lost to more moderate Dems and that they have to run true conservatives to give a distinct alternative to voters. Get ready for '08, FRiends.

Any info about the Partial-Birth case in the Supreme Court today?

But gee, at least we can feel better about ourselves for having taught those Republicans a lesson...sarcasm/

I believe Tim Long is overly pessimistic in his appraisal of the election results as they relate to the abortion question. I am confident that if he looks into the positions of the victors more thoroughly, he will find that many of them are as opposed to the notion of abortion on demand as he is. Time will tell. Meanwhile, we also have the issue of just war and unilateral invasion. It also deserves the attention of right-to-lifers.

I believe that Olympia Snowe is 100% pro-choice or pro-death, whichever term you prefer.

I used to be pro-life.. But hearing about abortion all the time gets old. I don't care any more. If women want to murder their child so be it. One day they will face judgment for their actions.

But I can't help but wonder what the reaction would be if all the pro-lifers felt the same way and said we won't fight you anymore go ahead kill your child. It makes no difference to us.

Yes, but they had to welcome some quasi-pro lifers (and one mock one) into their party to pull it off. This establishes a precedent for more and even stronger more genuine prolifers to crack their roach motel ranks and shine some brilliant light on the fester of the abortion lobby, causing it to eventually crumble from within.

I would expect in 08 even more will be allowed to run with them, and when they pay their political dues, they will start breaking with them on social issues. A flood eventually.
