The local GOP, understanding that pulling out an incumbent was much more difficult than getting someone elected to an open seat, didn't appreciate this, and since then, the pro-life community has been treated with suspicion

Well let's see, Poobah. Planned Parenthood spent millions in its effort to defeat George W. Bush. It spent a million or so in its effort to stop Ashcroft. It even maintained an anti-Republican website www.ROEvBUSH.com which it finally pulled after September 11.

And yet, the GOP just allowed $66 million in our tax dollars to go to Planned Parenthood. Sounds like the brain trust at the GOP is "suspicious" of the wrong group.

Look at Bush's family history with population controllers. The Rockefeller Republicans are buddy-buddy with Planned Parenthood -- keeps the black population down, you know.

Excuse me, pal...

The LOCAL Republicans have plenty of reason to be suspicious and distrustful of the LOCAL pro-life contingent.

And, from what I've heard, other LOCAL pro-life groups have pulled this stunt as well.

Stuff like this eventually gets back to the RNC. We are the authors of our own woes on this issue.
