To Jim,
I am one of those pro-lifers whom you are criticizing. If I thought he could have won I probably would have voted for Mike Huckabee, whose pro-life views most closely mirror my own.

I believe that John McCain is the only Republican candidate who could beat a Democrat at this time. As someone who has been involved in the pro-life movement for many years I do know John McCain’s voting record which while not perfect has been 90% pro-life.

At the March for Life only two of the candidates thought to send pro-life messages to the crowd. One was Ron Paul who showed up and the other was John McCain who had Sam Brownback read his message to those gathered on the Mall.

You can vote for Barak Obama (the most pro-abortion candidate to date and that’s saying a lot) by not voting but you bet I am supporting John McCain and then I will support holding his feet to the fire when he gets elected.

In 1999, McCain did not care about murdering babies

GovWatch 1999: Don’t force women to have illegal operations Top McCain Flip Flops: #4. Roe vs Wade:

Aug 1999, McCain told the San Francisco Chronicle that he would “not support repeal of Roe vs Wade” because it would force women to undergo illegal operations

JOHN McCAIN PRO LIFE WHAT A JOKE

Once again, “pro-life” Christians are doing back flips to try and justify their compromise of the life issue by trying to convince everyone (including themselves) that McCain is truly pro-life. However, these same people know in their hearts that McCain shares no fidelity to the life issue in any significant or meaningful way. Like many in the Republican Party, McCain’s commitment to life is about as deep as a mud puddle

the “pro-life” GOP controlled the entire federal government from 2000 to 2006 and nothing was done to overturn Roe v. Wade or end legal abortion-on-demand? When Bush took the oath of office in January of 2001, over one million innocent unborn babies were being murdered in the wombs of their mothers every year via legal abortions in this country. When Bush leaves office in January of 2009, over one million innocent unborn babies would still be murdered in the wombs of their mothers every year via legal abortions in this country

Had McCain & his fellow Republicans truly wanted to end legal abortion, they could have passed Congressman Ron Paul’s Sanctity of Life Act.

How can McCain, & his fellow Republicans in D.C., look pro-life Christians and conservatives in the eye in 2008 and expect that we take them seriously when they say that they are “pro-life”?

The reason they did not do it is because they did not want to do it. They merely want to use “pro-life” rhetoric as a campaign tool to dupe gullible Christian voters every election year. The disgusting thing about it is–it works
