I am very offended by you comment that voting for the Democratic party is voting for the pro-death party.

gwergel88, you're free to vote for whomever you choose once you're an adult but unless we are all open and honest about the facts debating them is pointless. While I agree that the Republican party needs to be more pro-life, no one can honestly argue that they aren't at least partially pro-life and they are certainly anti-abortion. To say that the Republican party is pro-abortion because some of it's members are is the same as saying that the Catholic Church is pro-abortion because of the actions of Kerry, Kennedy, and their ilk.

The facts.

As a country, we must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make it clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions. We oppose using public revenues for abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life.[/quote]
