Republicans might lose on Abortion
There’s good reason to believe that the Republican stance on abortion may hinder them in 2008.
Hillary is known to be moderate on her abortion position; taking up her husband’s phrase of ’safe, legal, and rare’ to be her own platform. This will bring in more pro-lifers than Kerry was able to get in 2004.
The real trick is that Giuliani is pro-choice and John McCain is not too far away from Hillary concerning abortion. These two men are the highest polling potential Republican nominees. If Republicans decide they need to make a definitive stance toward pro-life both McCain and Giuliani may find themselves losing support from within.
This combined with Giuliani’s health problems and McCain’s age (68) may mean that Republican voters are given someone like Bill Frist.
That could be a very serious problem for the GOP.

I am pro-life, I would like to say that first, I disagree with abortion, it is wrong, immoral, and in my mind sinful…having said that, abortion will never be outlawed in this country by any means, as much as I would like it to be…if it becomes illegal, women will continue to do it and some doctors will continue to practice it…therefor I dn’t really no where I am going with this, other than to say abortion wont be a variable in my voting in the 2008 election….
