chalu2, it was not an important issue for me 5 years ago but now it is, because I feel the tail is wagging the dog and the republican far right is demanding all this legislation like parental approval and PBA restrictions... little things that chip away at a womans right to choose. PBAs are a classic example of this. No woman ever would choose to have a PBA, you've got to be kidding. Most had never heard of that procedure before this firestorm erupted in congress about it... the far right digs up these extreme things every month it seems.

Arlen Spector said on a political show once that the republican leadership no longer will support anybody that supports a woman's right to choose. He is pro-choice but cannot get any support to run for president due to this issue. I can tell you until the last few years there were tons, tons of pro-choice republicans in California (the mayor of LA is one) but the strong-arming by the leadership has driven them to change their positions, its their only choice.

So you are correct, I doubt I can ever vote for a republican again, and I probably won't, but I will keep looking for somebody that is willing to stand up to these extremist bullies like Delay and when somebody comes along, they will score with me for character and the issues both.
