"The GOP cannot win in 2008 without their [pro-life voters] enthusiastic support."

Bumped for TRUTH. ;)

The pro-life vote is by far the single biggest single-issue voting block in this country. The pro-life issue by itself typically gives the candidate 7 points over a pro-abortion opponent.

Moderating or dropping the Pro Life stance on abortion would communicate to American voters that in essence abortion has won over Pro Life, and Leftist ideology prevails. It would be the same as capitulation to the Left, and would purvey a vision of futility to many voters. Suicide for the Republicans.

RINO’s have already made the Republican Party Dem-Lite, and to drop abortion would only reduce any respect for the Party. Wouldn’t be much choice remaining in the view of many of us.

I’m going to a state Republican event tonight. It’s going to be interesting for sure (I live in Illinois). I suspect much of the conversation will be about how we can win back the governorship, the state capitol, and at least one Senate position (beginning with Turban Durbin).

I don’t think Giuliani on abortion is that much different from President Bush. The President has never made nationally outlawing abortion even on the top ten of his domestic agenda. The difference is President Bush rose in politics in pro-life Texas and Giuliani rose in politics in pro-choice New York (i.e. they took the majority position based upon the ideology of their states). They both say that Roe v. Wade was judicial overreach by the Supreme Court and that the states should have more latitude to set their abortion laws.

Still, Bopp warned that whether the Republican Party will move away from its pro-life position "will be determined by who is nominated for president."

Then, be prepared to be a minority party for years to come if Giuliani is the nominee.

Drop the religious and social values from the party platform, and evangelicals, who make up the vast majority of the base, will simply leave and find another party. The moderates and Libertarians can’t get that through their thick skulls.

"Evangelical and pro-life Catholics are a critical part of the GOP's electoral coalition," Bopp told the Washington Times. "The GOP cannot win in 2008 without their enthusiastic support."

Then you better drop your nutball support for the liberal former Governor of Massachusetts, Bopp...because there are tons of pro-life conservatives who will NEVER cast a vote for Mitt Romney.
