Steele: ‘I Am Pro-Life’

I am pro-life too, but this means I don’t advocate bombing everybody in foreign lands.

Oh goody goody.
I would love the Repugs to self distruct, that way they can stop being the Grand Obstructionist Party (GOP) in congress.
The party will split in two.
The Limbaugh “drugged” radical nuts will go their way and sink into oblivion after 2010 and the sensible moderates will survive and make something of what will be left of the Greedy Old Pigs (GOP).

Steele+GOP=Boogle Masters.
These guys are suffering from intellectual myopathy. Started with Bush, then they went for Palin now this fumbler called Steel!

The Republican party is no more likely to split than the Democrats are with their disparate views. The Democrats are making a strategic mistake in going too far left too quickly. They presume the a victory over an uninspiring McCain was a vote FOR Obama. It was a vote AGAINST Bush. After elections, Presidents ride a wave for a bit and then lose ground (Gallup has his disapproval rating up to 27% already). As people begin to see how Obama really wants to govern, the Democrats run a serious risk of re-energizing conservative Republicans AND alienating conservative Democratics. I would not be so smug about insulting Limbaugh’s 25 million listeners. They are inclined to vote and you might want some of them come next election.

LMAO… They gave this guy the RNC chair to put a new fresh face on the republican party… Then when he tries to dismiss Rush Limbaugh as the rpeublicna party leader he is forced to back pedal and appologize.
now he tries to make a tweak in the rpeublican view point on abortion, and it is clealry ebing done to attract more fence voters to the republicna ticket becuase they desperately need it, he is forced to appologize agian.
republicans better wake up if they actually beleive making no changes at all is going to strengthen thier party in 2010 elections…
actually just stay asleep

We dont need anymore unwed mothers on the dole. We dont need anymore babies born to teenagers. really. We have too many people as it is and I see NO DIFFERENCE between an embryo or the egg adn sperm that we routinely kill. The sperm is alive, struggling to become somebody, no way pal, you die today. who cares??? this embryo, has no cognizance, has no central nervous system, is no more aware of itself than a skill cells, yet yo u want to FORCE girls to develope into a baby that will then most likely (look at the stats) be neglected, on the dole and in jail (look at the stats!) inside of 16 years? Honestly , that isn’t racism it’s just fact. Google it. SEe how kids of unwed mothers do, who supports them. WE dont need it in our society. And i dont think youshould develope a baby assumign it will be healthy and someone elsewill adopt it. What if it turns out to be down syndrome??? will they still adopt it??? NO! you bring into this world the children YOU can support and bring up. Abortion needs to stay legal for our society! I am not for late term abortion, but I have to say, it angers me that anyone births a child when there is so much birht control available and abortion available and yet you STILL do not prevent yourself from becoming someone everyone else has to pick up the peices for, or fall victim to.

Sure hope Steele cleared his latest clarification with party leader Rush Limpballs.

A growing number of the base questioning Mr. Steele’s leadership, huh? Well that growing number better realize something. Their personal beliefs concerning this topic have pretty much torn this party apart. The part they do not seem to get is that they do not and will not ever constitute a majority. And that gets the party beat at election time. If they want to continue to be an obstinate, shrill minority, so be it.

LOL! This is an infinitely more important topic than the fact that American corporations (and lots of jobs) will be moving to Switzerland and other countries to avoid Obama’s punitive taxation and interference. Hope and Change!

Maybe the RNC needs to lake lessons from Obama and the Dems on how to really lie and screw up things and get away with it.

This guy is a clown. Was he brought on to make Bush look bright by comparison? When I saw the article yesterday about him trying to have it “all ways” on this subject, I figured this would be another 24-hour flip-flop turnaround. Attaboy Mike, go groveling back to the base.

Lee, was that your lame attempt at humor? Given what happened the past 8 years, the depth of your delusion is hilarious.

How many “Pro-Lifers” support Capital Punishment? Can someone be “pro-life” and still support Capital Punishment?
When are Republicans going to learn to check with Boss Limbaugh before they speak?
Mr. Steele this is what happens when you deviate from the Party Propaganda Line without the approval of the Great Bloviator. Let this be a lesson to you!

Oh my god, the republican party is such a joke now. They should all just go home and come back in four years.
Or not come back at all.

Well I’ve got some bad news for you keredte. Since Obama and YOUR party have to act like maniacs and say things like “God D___ America” and try to force feed socialism on everybody, I have no doubt that your enemies, the Republicans, will “come back” and take both houses of Congress in as early as two years.

Well…. let’s not get carried away here folks… I would remind some that God is Pro-choice… in that he has given people free-will from the begining… but this in no way changes the fact that He is (and I am) adamantly Pro-Life and always will be… There is no room for abortion support… it is an irresponsible and ungodly position… Regarding homosexuality the situation is much the same and it does focus on one’s choice to pursue their private desire regardless or how wrong-minded or biologically illogical they may be. While an individual’s proclivity toward homosexuality as strengthened through environmental factors cannot be discounted it in no way validates this as a sound practice or lifestyle and it therefore is once again a highly irresponsible, intellectually dishonest and societally dangerous position to become a conceptual “enabler” or supporter of such a behavioral error. It is simply a short-circuit of one’s practice of love… fraternal love becoming biologically unsound erotic love regardless of how it is rooted it remains illogical and unsound for societal perpetuation. God loves all of us regardless of our flaws all the same… He says that we are “to die for”.

good for steele to inadvertently attempt to bring the GOP into the 21st century… it’s time for the GOP to separate itself from religion and just stick to the politics…

Being Gay is a choice it’s like saying the pedophiles can’t help themselves so we should give them rights

This guy is turning out to be a clown for the Repubs. I don’t believe anything he says anymore.
Abortion, sucking babies into sinks, is something all Americans should hope we have less of going forward. It is not something to be proud of and support. I heard my kids’ hearts beating at 7 weeks.

Steele was a good choice, I mean selection, for the GOP chairman. He will force the GOP to really declare what the party is about and people will be able to make an informed choice, I mean selection.

I didn’t even need to read past the headline. This is exactly why NO ONE TRUSTS the Republicans. They talk out of both sides of thier mouths. At the first sign of disagreement from the precious base they go running for the party line. The Republican party is about as open minded as Castro.

I find the republican cry of “prolife” to be shallow and incomplete. Being prolife means you support polices and norms that protect life from the womb to the grave-which the republican party certainly does not. In addition to fighting for the unborn, one who is prolife will also fight to protect the poor children in our country,foster youth, the destitute & homeless in our country, the elderly in our country and all else who often lack the power to fight for themeselves. I find it laughable that once you’re born, the republican party ceases to find value in your life and don’t want to spend a dime to protect it.

I love this! These guys can’t get anything right. Given the inherent contradictory and hypocritical flaws of the Republican Party, Steele has no choice but to come off as an Uncle Tom. And that’s unfortunate.
As long as the GOP is afflicted with the schizophrenia of Rush vs. Rationality, they will continue to implode.
Good riddance.

So now the Republicans not only have a clown (Rush) — they also have a joke (Steele). It is actually sad to see the Party self-destruct like this, but they have no one to blame but themselves. They have, by design, marginalized themselves with hateful messages that appeal to fewer and fewer voters. Very sad.

there is one word for abortion: TORTURE!!! watch a video of it, ‘the silent scream’, you’ll see EXACTLY what goes on!!! shame on america! shame on our “president”!

angie in PA….. Do you work? get off the blogs.

Well, that’s what goes for typical Republican these days. say one thing and mean another. There is no backbone in this man. There’s no way he can obtain public support and trust….except for the few who live their lives based on making excuses.

oh here we go – I could not agree with you more. As a matter of fact, I know a girl right now that just got pregnant, is single, refuses to work and is COMPLETELY incapable of raising a child. Right now her mother’s boyfriend is talking about leaving if she doesn’t get an abortion because he knows he will be stuck taking care of that baby and he does not want another kid. He has two grown children of his own. This girl just got pregnant a few months ago, got an abortion and then got pregnant again and now she decided she wants to have the baby. Funny thing is, there are a couple of new mothers in her extended family that are getting a lot of attention from her immediate family. Curious isn’t it?

The GOP is going nowhere fast. Until moderates take control of the party, the GOP will be a diminished and weakened party.

Why don’t the Republicans just elect Tony Perkins or someone like him as Chairman for life. I mean he’s the guy who’s butt must be kissed before you can even get an audience with the former drug addict and some say sex tourist Rush Limbaugh.

Penn… the guy whose claim to fame was revealing to the world his real-life, clueless, stoner self in a movie called Fast Times at Ridgemont High… This embarassment is attempting to represent our country’s international policy… No wonder we are an international joke…

Rebulican’s=statesmenless
Democrates=Pro statesmen
People really get bent over abortion and gay civil rights.
I am sure Anne Coulter’s Jesus never said anything about love, but mine did.
I am enjoying this…

I DO NOT THINK ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DICTATE WHAT ANYONE DOES WITH THEIR BODIES. IN OTHER WORDS IT IS NOT THE BUSINESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO TELL ANYONE WHAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT DO AS FAR AS THEIR PHYSICAL BEING IS CONCERNED!!!!!!!!

Bob Lees–exactly.

ann — I blame Bush. If the depression is Obama’s fault at 50 days then 911 is Bushs fault at 10 months.

When you really love someone you tell them what they “need” to hear… not what they “want” to hear…

Thank you, Jesus, for abortion! Nothing would be more cruel than letting a baby be born to parents who don’t want him/her. Praise Jesus for abortions and the doctors who provide them! AMEN!

The stunt backfired. A token black from a bunch of fat whites ain’t going to cut it. Find a statesmen in the Repubican party that can stand up to Mr. Limb and you’ll get some votes. That’ll be the day. Until then a wishy washy clown is fun to laugh at. Seems to fit right in with the Limb/Coulter team of spoiled brats who make “ugly, incendiary.” remarks in a time of crisis in our country. You had 8 years to get it right. Now it’s just spoiled talk from the repubs.

Nothing could be more cruel than not wanting your unborn…

I get the impression, that this man is just happy to be noticed, and in the big league. He comes off as a complete moron. Everytime I see him, I hear Sally Fields saying; They love me, they really love me!!!! GAG!

pro choice is the right choice!!!

At least the US and the World got to see who’s the real leader of the imploded Republican Party. Watching Steele cowaring and begging Rush Limblah to accept his appology was priceless. We all know Steele was used as a Prop to get the Black and Minority Vote by the crooked Republicans. He was just another GOP handpuppet like their Failed President George dumbya Bush.

Limbaugh, wearing his white suit and matching Panama hat, will say to Mr. Steele, “Boy, I done told you to know yo’ place. You in fo’ a world o’ hurt if you open yo’ mouth one mo’ time without askin’ fo’ die-rections first, ya hear?!” And Mr. Steele, recognizing who is the boss, will respond, “Yes suh, Mr. Limbaugh, suh. I surely am real sorry, and I promise right heah and now I won’t do it again!”….What a pitiful, sorry, disgusting bunch of clowns the republicans have become.

And when the defacto Leader of the Republican Party Rush Limblah Spouts out his Negative Rhetoric “I Want Obama to FAIL!” “I don’t want him to FIX the Broken Economy and help Save the US” You know you’re dealing with a Party Leader that’s gone insane. Probably pushed along with all his illegal Drug Use!

You need to Pray for thos innocent Iraq’s Women and Children included who were Killed because of Bushes illegal WAR! A war based on Republican Lies! But then again to the Conservative right wing Lunatics God only cares for Rich White People in the US?

Talk about having one foot in the grave the other on a banana peel.
Steel you choose to hang with a racist group who hate us and other minorities, and you expect them to accept you and forgive you of your shortcomings. man, you come straight out a comic book.
Uncle Steeletom

Just a word to the wise. Jannie, laurie and theregoesthecountry, it is people like you that have caused the shift of the moderates, independents and centrists to the other side. There is no way we can tolerate your type of mindset that interferes with politics anymore. Especially over a law that will never be changed. If you really care about the newborn and who with a conscience doesn’t, focus on better education concerning options to abortion. The law that you detest and has made you so blind is tearing the party apart at the seams.

Put a fork in him. He’s done.

Jesus is for abortions, sorry. I read it in a old book. He said, … let there be abortions, and there were abortions. Let women decide for themselves what happens to their bodies. How many people have to die to make you crazy abortion haters get the picture. Pro Life doesn’t end at the womb or does it? Why can’t women have the power over their own bodies? Why is that so scary for you? Stelle is a wishy washy spokesperson for your hypocracy. How can that be?

Dano — you probably disrespect and resist your own sun god by using sunscreen…
I pray to Adonei through The Holy Spirit in Emmanuel’s/ Jesus’ name for overflowing blessings on everyone… and that they then return back to me that I may bless others if they are unable to rest on their targets…

To CND FOX:
Just a word for the wise… better get back to your real roots and not your politically correct pandering and aquiescence… or America will be relegated to Democratic destruction and the Russian prophet will be proven correct. This country is in great jeapordy… It is really no surprise though… Biblical Prophesy foretells of a “great falling away” from the faith… Choose this day whom you will serve… GOP will continue to fail if they cut off their roots… Inability to articulate a cogent well-reasoned stance on these issues is no reason to abandon the principles which should guide you… Like it or not this country’s success has been directly tied to God’s blessing… abandon Him and fall!
Soon more governor’s may reject stimulus funds and responsibility for repayment at the request of their citizens… talk of secession could follow…

To theregoesthecountry: And I’m certain that all the literalists and fundamentalists on both sides of the ledger, like yourself, will cause that to happen. It is called a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Steele thought he was going to broaden appeal of the Republican platform and bring it into the 21st Century. He should have known that was impossible. Republicans are driven two factions: anti-tax folks and religious conservatives. He will always have to kiss up to both of them…

Yes, cecilia, Jesus loves abortion! After all, Jesus is God, right? And God is all-powerful, right? But since he chooses NOT to intervene in the abortion procedure, clearly he favors abortion!
If God can part the Red Sea, surely he could knock a little tool out of a doctor’s hand, if he so chose. Right?

“You’d better know where you stand when you stand before your maker”
Ignorance and superstition – your “makers” were your parents.

It’s hard to believe that the Republican party wouldn’t want SOMEONE out there articulating who they are and what they’ve become. Are they wanting to appeal to the independent voter, a more moderate audience, or are they wanting their voice to be the vitriolic divisive Rush Limblaugh, or Miss Toni Perkins.
Anytime you hear a Republican say that they are “pro life”, the first question asked should be, “no, the question was, DO YOU BELIEVE IN A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE”. It’s not the same thing.

Back to thergoesthecountry: The only thing different than you and I is that I am extremely grateful for the mind I was given. That means that I will not allow that mind to be programmed by others.It means that I am optimistic that the best thinkers who are bonafide realists will always prevail with their common sense approach to life. If only everybody was confident enough to think that way I am certain we would have better ideas and solutions to the concerns and challenges that face us all. I do believe, however that adherence to simple ideologies have more negative than positive effects to the majotity of the population.

The “anti-abortion,” religious dreck including creationism, “Intelligent Design”, virgin births, resurrections from the dead, and other religious non-sense should be kept with the other religious bigotry………in churches……where it doesn’t bother tax payers.
Religious Extremist who attempt to impose their religious biases, prejudices, and bigotry are un-American.
The only difference between the religious zealots in America and those in Iran …………is a turban.

LOL!!!!
Uncle Tom of the GOP Party!!!!!
LOL!!!!

“God is most certainly Pro-Life”
How the hell would you know?

The right to choose to do right is not equivalent to the right to take a life… sure you can choose to do wrong… go ahaed… but don’t think that you have a right to silence those who speak on behalf of those without a voice…

People with a guilty conscience will always attempt to justify themselves… It’s just a natural reaction…
You people are witnessing history, the fall of this country with your own eyes and yet you will deny it even when all that is left is a memory of what it once was… truly pitiful… but denial is one of the stages of death

As the headlines continually reveal fulfillment of prophesies made thousands of years ago my faith is oddly strengthened. From the (then unthinkable and until recently unlikely) prophesies of a one-world financial system to those piting the whole world against tiny Israel these are all evidences of their own accuracy.

stacy:”LOL! This is an infinitely more important topic than the fact that American corporations (and lots of jobs) will be moving to Switzerland and other countries to avoid Obama’s punitive taxation and interference.” — You can find that topic on several other comment sites. This one’s about the continuing, comedic saga of the repo party’s self destruction. Better than Blazing Saddles!

Madoff is a distraction, a boogieman, a shiny object to keep you sheep looking at something… distract you from realizing that the whole “economic crisis” was manufactured from the start… Madoff is a representation in small scale of exactly what your government has just done to you… Tell me… how does the economy “fail” and yet the dollar remain stable… It’s amazing what a “controlled burn” through intentional temporarily inflated oil prices can do to an economy… so where did all the abstract Wall Street value go? The Billionaires have lost “virtual dollars” but not value… if everything moves in proportion they have really lost nothing… and they have gained many federal dollars… the real losers are the people… The entire government “Madoffed” us all… Ron Paul was right… Politics is like the WWF… they put on a good show making you believe that they hate each other while all the while they are merely planning how they are gonna get your money…

whether it be via abortion or homosexuality… read the screenname…

“It doesn’t get much clearer than that”? The Bible? There are a zillion differenct Bibles. If the Bible were clear, there wouldn’t be so many different Bibles and Christian Sects….so very willing to kill one another. Unless a reader speaks Hebrew, Aramaic, and Ancient Greek, s/he must rely on a translation. Bottom line: Most Bible literalists have no idea what the Bible says…much less what it means.

Steele is a Very Sad Man…
He said the other Day, he was…
[[Pro-Choice]]
The Next Day….
“I’m Pro-Life”
————-
Mr. Steele
Your outgoing Republican President is a …
Pro-Choice President
Now Crawl back to Limbaugh and Hannity and tell them…
I’m Sorry Fellas, I’m Pro-Choice and I’ll Resign in Due Time..
Though You Two Hypocrites Never, Ever Complained about George W.Bush being…
“Pro-Choice”

“2 Questions you’ll never hear a pro-lifer answer.
1. When a woman faces an unwanted pregnancy, who has the right to make the choice about her unborn fetus – her or the government ?”
The government does, because as a people we have the obligation to protect the defenseless.
“2. Why don’t I see pro- lifers storming adoption centers and group homes asking to adopt children-regardless of race or age ?”
Plenty of pro-lifers adopt children. Maybe you don’t know of them any because of the people you hang with? In any case, the lack of ability or motivation to adopt doesn’t justify the killing of an innocent human life.

Great pic RNC. A pro choice guy, who’d a thunk it?

You Repubs are never going to make inroads with mainstream America until you get away from these bible wackos who insist and thrusting their religion on people. And trying to overturn Roe v. Wade is exactly that. The Right to Life movement is a cancer on the GOP.

You Evangelicals miss the point: The anti-abortion and anti-gay planks are what keeps you folks voting Republican. They are considered two of the “four pillars” of the Republican Party. If abortion and homosexuality were ever actually outlawed you might become interested in other Christian things like caring for the poor, creation-care, social justice, or ending war and suffering. And then you might even (gasp) vote Democrat.
The Republican leadership talks a good show about these issues, but they’ll never end them because doing so risks losing your support. You’re being played. And the rest of us, Republican and Democrat alike, think it’s sad.
Truth is that all of us, liberal and conservative alike, want a better, safer, more prosperous America. If Republicans aren’t outlawing the sinful practices you oppose, after controlling the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court for six years, you really have to ask yourself if the GOP is working on your behalf or just playing you like a 5-cent whistle. Maybe you need your own party…

Micheal Steele and Rush Limbaugh are the gifts that keep on giving. You betcha!

Missouri Dad, See I do not because I do not think either of the main parties would want to ally with them. A third party system has always scared me. I have always that we were the top country in the world becaus eof our two party system. That was until this extreme element came into the picture and they do not want to compromise with anyone. They do not seem to understand the answers do not lie in ideology or the past. You have to be flexible and adaptable to meet today’s challenges. And that is not them.

What makes anyone’s personal religious beliefs public policy. I don’t care what religion you follow and I don’t care if you think abortion is murder. I think every woman deserves control over her own body and is guaranteed civil rights in this country by virtue of being a human being. Religious groups cannot even decide at what point is a bunch a cells life for god’s sake. Is it when you have sex; is it when you see your first ultra sound and see a peanut shaped blob or do you just make things up as you go along. Stay out of my business and I will stay out of yours. I see America one day having civil wars just like the Middle East and it will all bo over religious groups deciding they can play god and control evryone else’s life.

Kris says: — “guaranteed civil rights in this country by virtue of being a human being.”
—— and just when exactly does one one begin “being” a human being? A fetus is distinctly human by virtue of it’s DNA… and it lives from the moment it seeks to grow. I would submit that it is both human and in a state of “being” from the time that its individual new and unique genetic code came into “being”. What of these “human beings” Civil Rights? It was people who thought just like you (deceptively rationalizing ignorance) who justified the idea of slavery because they viewed Africans as sub-human. One day this human tragedy called abortion will be viewed in retrospective horror and disbelief much as slavery is viewed today.

pleaseendmygeneticlineage:”A fetus is distinctly human by virtue of it’s DNA…and it lives from the moment it seeks to grow.” — It lives so long as it’s in the womb-sometimes. Outside the womb a fetus, in it’s first trimester, is essentially a lump of flesh that will cease to exist with or without medical intervention. It becomes viable outside the womb sometime during the mid-second trimester and only with extraordinary medical help. THAT’s when life begins!
