KBH is the most conservative person I've heard discussed as a realistic choice (she's to the right of Romney, especially economically). She's got a good handle on energy and would make Biden seem foolish in a debate.

She's pro-choice. No thanks!

Where does this stuff come from that Kay is pro-abortion. She is pro life. She hasn't had a purist record, but she is better than most Senators.

She's pro-choice?

On abortion, she’s always called herself “Pro Life” and NARAL Pro-Choice America—the leading pro-abortion lobbying group – has given her ratings of mostly 0% (like McCain) and never higher than 20%.

How can seriously call her pro-choice?

[Blood of Tyrants]

On abortion, she’s always called herself “Pro Life” and NARAL Pro-Choice America—the leading pro-abortion lobbying group – has given her ratings of mostly 0% (like McCain) and never higher than 20%.

Hardly pro-choice.
