If not, then why are the Dems running Bob Casey for Pennsylvania Senate instead of a pro-choicer?

THere are a lot more important issues than the abortion issue.  That was the platform that got the republican supporters in an uproar to the extent that they couldn't see the real damage being done to this country.  It's just a smoke screen, no matter who uses it and which side their on in the issue.  Abortion isn't going to matter is GWB starts WWIII, we'll all be dead.

John McCain is one of the few Republicans I can actually stomach and I also like John Edwards pretty well. I don't think that Edwards is the best choice, though, so I hope that a better contender can get the Democratic candidacy. However, if Edwards is the candidate, I'll vote for him, since I support the Democratic Party platform.

Pro choicers have been looking for a moral positive for abortion for years. This issue more about abortion than stem cell research.

I am a Christian Democrat and I am against abortion,same sex marriages and such. I don't know why liberals and democrats think that way. You can be both.

It goes both ways. Extremists on both sides are wrapping the issue up with other issues. For example, people who are pro life are often also in favor of women being subservient, staying home, being married, making less money and stuff like that.  And pro choicers often refer to abortion as a reproductive right without considering the life of the child a right.  This is just another example of how extremist views are flawed.  The truth is in the middle.  Address the reasons for abortion, increase womens rights, access, equality, etc. and then only make abortion illegal without attaching any other bills to it.  It might work.

Another moral question: Christian Republicans are pro-life, yet pro-war.

Already with Pelosi backing Murtha and Murtha bragging he has the votes for majority whip this could back fire. Moderate Democrates are already backing Hoyer who would be the wiser choice. And already Murtha has been ranked the unethical democrat by several groups. From what I read on the Drudge Report it sounds like its going to backfire.

abortion... if a democrats were against abortion, it would be a long time before a republican won anything... there are more than enough people that vote on this issue alone to turn the tide permanently to the democrats... \n\nmaybe democrats should just say they are against abortion and don't do anything about it... like the conservatives do...\n\ninterested: believe it or not... just being a liberal, it doesn't mean you hate conservatives... although by the way some conservatives act, the majority of them hate all liberals it seems... \nhe is talking more about his actions and what party they are more consistent with... and I agree that I think they are more consistent with liberals...\n\nnormobrian: can you cite those... I think I missed them in my bible...

Because liberals never want the people to have their way, that is why we have roe vs. wade and other bad cases.  They want judges to decide for us.  Good luck with that in Taxachusetts.

Because they haven't thought through it properly. Just like the rest of us (including, no doubt, you), many of their opinions are a mix of other peoples opinions. The result is an inconsistent view (also note opinions on the death penalty). It is almost impossible to think through EVERY issue for yourself because there are so many.\n\nIn many cases it could be conservatism is masquarading as pro-life. They are not the same thing. Conservatism says whatever we used to do is right. Pro-life says that every human life is worth more than anything.\n\nOn the other hand, pro-choice could be called inconsistent. Just as an a parent may believe their life would be better if the foetus didn't exist, the U.S. may feel it more convenient if the nation of Iraq is a bloody mess.\n\nEvery unheard voice of every oppressed person, whether in Iraq or in the womb, is worth defending.

Pro-abortionists will say that the unborn baby is a product of conception.  This allows them to not have to deal with the baby issue.  They want to say that pro-lifers are anti-choice....that they are against a woman having the right to choose what happens to their body.  I think the pro-murder or anti-life (I will call them that as they like to use the anti-choice moniker) advocates don't understand that pro-lifers are trying to speak up for the choice of one who cannot be heard...the baby!  The argument that I like to use, from a Biblical sense is that God says He knew us before we were born and that He knit us together in our mother's womb.  This indicates that He began life before our actual birth.  The argument that the baby is just a product of conception...it is true.  A baby is a product of conception, the only one...you conceive a baby!  It is not the baby's fault that you made a mistake, that you were irresponsible or that some sick bas...d went and did something to a woman that he should be strung up by his ba..s for!  That baby is innocent!  The woman who aborts a baby is also, often, wracked with guilt in their later years over what they did.  Why inflict an additional pain on some poor girl/woman who has been raped, etc.?  It is illegal to break an eagle's egg because it is living and the bald eagle is endangered, but it is legal to kill a human infant in the same state...what kind of sick logic is that?

They are in fact all in it for self gain, but Repubs go overboard with greed and power to the point of serious corruption. They do not care who or how many they hurt. Dems however do show a little heart and do have a conscience.

They should not be allowed to have an abortion unless it is to save the life of the mother. I understand accidents happen but practice safe sex and if you still get pregnant give it up for adoption. Killing your own baby in an effort to ease the problems in you life is sick and wrong. It is a sad reflection on our society that we have made this discusting act into a simple procedure like getting a tooth pulled.\nFurthermore why is the biological father not a part of this choice.\nThese pro baby murder wack jobs have just gone to far. Then they have the nerve to call it pro choice! The choice was made when you decided to have sex. Unborn children should recieve the same protection as any other citizen.\nI like your question.\nHowever it damn near has my blood boiling. I have both a daughter and a son. The fact that there are doctors out there that would do this without my consent to my child is discusting. I find it hard to believe the liberals have led this country that I love so much down a path of disolving morals.

Chicago should get a good turn out of dead people, but a little light on the pets. We are expecting a larger showing of pet voting Democrats in the larger Pennsylvania area. Because of the large number of pets voting in Pennsylvania if Santorum happens to win then we will know that the Republicans cheated and we will commence with legal challenges there. Darned Republicans! Always trying to steal elections.

Great question. This is why Democrats might want to keep the Champaign on ice for awhile.\n The majority of wins for Democrats were those who have shown Conservative values in their past decision making.\n Either they are tough on Defence, Fiscally responsible, Pro Life, or a full house.\n The thing is, the minute Pelosi and Reid attempt to drive through their Socialist agenda I believe they will find unexpected opposition within their own Party.\n This is why we now hear folks backing off of certain issues now.\n Before the Elections they were prepared to start Impeachment Proceedings against the President, now Pelosi say's it's off the table, what happened? \n Think about it, they have talked a good game but when the hammer hits the desk who in their right mind is gonna provide a Military exit timeline to the terrorists so all they have to do is wait us out then attack when we abandon our obligations.\n Who in their right mind is willing to take away tax cuts and end the record Stock Market growth.....Someone who doesn't want to keep a job, that's who.\n So remind me...Who won this election?

Are you kidding? He caused traditional Republican counties in Pa to vote Dem. \nHe would also have to be a real resident of Pa to be a candidate for Governor, not someone renting and empty house in Pittsburgh. \nPeople vote their conscience in Pa., Santorum has none.

Your question makes no sense at all. However, let's say that you had asked if pro-choice supporters would work hard for Democrats because of the recent appointments to the Supreme Court.\n\nThe extreme pro-choice (dare I say pro-abortion) crowd is extremely angry about the Alito confirmation (moreso than the Roberts confirmation, because Alito refused to say that Roe v. Wade is settled law). They are very angry at the 17 Democrats who voted for cloture (that is to end the filibuster, which could've been sustained if it had been supported by all 42 senators who eventually voted against the confirmation). This will likely dampen their enthusiasm for Democratic candidates in 2006 and 2008.\n\nAlso, it should be noted that the confirmation hearings and the attempt to filibuster Justice Alito should provide Republicans with some ammunition against Democrats.\n\nI don't think this will be a successful issue for the Democrats, however, as the most vocal opponents of the nominees are out of the mainstream of American thinking.
