Much talk has been written about Rice's views on abortion. I think she has said she is "moderate" on this issue, meaning pro-abortion in some cases. I don't think she supports partial-birth, and she probably supports parental notification.

The main reason why her views on this issue are important is because she is being touted as a potential VP/P pick. Remember, G.H.W.B used to be pro-abortion, but he "changed" his mind to join Reagan's ticket. People can debate how much his views changed. He did a lot of pro-life things, the best of which was putting Thomas on the court. Of course he also gave us Souter...Back to Rice. If she ever were VP or Pres, but especially Pres, I would expect that she too would at least have a public "conversion." She may already be changing to pro-life. We should pray for her. If she does, or already has, she's not going to call a press conference for it. But if she's ever in a position to appoint judges, we need to apply a lot of pressure on her!

Has she stated publically what her views are? I've heard both sides. Perhaps she will let us all know when the time is right.

She said ..."I really do believe that God will never let his children fall too far. There is an old gospel hymn, "He knows how much you can bear." I really do believe that. I greatly appreciate, and so does the president, the prayers of the American people. You feel them. You know that they are there. If you just keep praying for us, it is so important to all of us."
