The pro-life community doesn't just want a candidate that will take on the pro-life label; they want a candidate that will advocate for the cause.

Any candidate who makes ending abortion the cornerstone of his campaign will remain on the fringe. I know that's not what people on Free Republic want to hear but it is the truth.

Have confidence that a President Walker will appoint conservatives to the bench and leave it at that.

The reason Republican presidential candidates have lost in recent elections is that they have not placed values-issues at the forefront of their campaigns.

Millions of disaffected conservatives DO care about creation/evolution, morality, contraception/abortion, and homosexual issues. Not only have Republican candidates lost by not stressing these issues, but as a result, we are losing ground on these issues too.

No GOP candidate will make abortion the "cornerstone" of his campaign. But GOP candidates who equivocate about it, refuse to straightforwardly articulate their pro-life beliefs (especially as those beliefs are already part of the GOP Platform), and sedulously avoid appearing on conservative talk shows will wind up -- just as McCain and Romney did -- in second place.

NARAL is publishing a full-page ad in the Des Moines Register warning of Walker's abortion "extremism." If those harpies are pitching a hissy fit about him, you can bet he's a danger to their open-season-on-the-preborn efforts.
