What kind of principle is protecting the unborn? They do not even vote! (Except maybe in Chicago, but that is far outside California.)One might as well pander to illegal aliens.

So, Michael, is your contention that a political party should do nothing more than pander? Abandoning principles for political appeal? That seems like a trick the Democrats often play, and it hasn’t served them well for the past several decades.

If your intention is, instead, that people should be willing to compromise on one issue in order to move forward a much broader agenda, I might normally agree. However, Abortion will take on a much reater role in this election, considering the likely changes to the supreme court.

Anyhow, thanks for your thoughts!

“Preservation of unborn life is a pretty stupid cause to sacrifice votes.”

Why are you picking on that?

Somethings are simply more important to some than political whim or fashion. What may be pretty stupid to you, is obviously not to others.

Given the general socialistic shitpit that helpless and clueless Californians seem to enjoy living in, does it really make any difference what, if anything, the Republicam platform stands for at all?

did not Al Gore have a history of opposing abortion rights?

I do not understand why the California GOP just does not chuck the pro-life plank. Preservation of unborn life is a pretty stupid cause to sacrifice votes.
