Excerpt:
The Republican National Committee approved today a resolution supporting all federal, state and local legislation to stop abortion after 20 weeks, more than halfway through pregnancy.
[…]Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the national pro-life group the Susan B. Anthony List praised the RNC saying:
“Americans are united in their support for commonsense legislation to stop abortion more than halfway through pregnancy. We thank the Republican committeemen and women for affirming all efforts to end barbaric late abortions nationwide and urge Democrats to do the same. In state legislatures across the county, Democrats are bucking pressure from their national leaders to support this compassionate legislation that is already popular with their constituents.”
This week Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) circulated a letter signed by more than 30 U.S. Senators including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), urging him to bring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act for a floor vote.
“A federal law is long overdue,” continued Dannenfelser. “The United States is only one of seven countries to allow abortion on demand at such a late stage of pregnancy. The U.S. Senate should follow the RNC’s lead and go on record on this important issue.”
Author and chief sponsor of the resolution RNC Committeewoman Ellen Barrosse said:
“The Republican Party is proudly pro-life and this resolution shows our support for this straightforward, simple pro-life initiative. Children capable of feeling intense pain, as well as their mothers, should be protected from abortion at such a very late stage of gestation.
Still all political parties are the same? On the pro-life issue, Republicans are united. It’s a good reason for social conservatives to vote for them at election time.
Well, not “all” Republicans are on the same page apparently. Only 30 of, what, 46. That should, should be all 100 senators if it is indeed “common sense”. But we know all sense is not common.
Heard somewhere that the Nevada Republican Convention had dropped abortion from their platform, along with natural marriage.
Definitely something to consider.

They were considering it, but I don’t think they did it. I think the House Republicans are especially awesome across the board.

Fair, they’re fair. But only 30, that is still slightly disappointing.
