RI Dem Congressman Jim Langevin is pro life

[RINO Tom]

Isn't Harry Reid openly pro-life but has had a more liberal record on the issue by year?

EDIT: Isn't one or both of the Bush wives pro-choice?

Massive FF's, all of them.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The Democrats are a mixed group and the Republicans are all godawful except Murkowski and Dent.

What is the criteria? What is the dividing line between pro-life and pro-choice?

[Intell]

What is the criteria? What is the dividing line between pro-life and pro-choice?

Personal Opinion, and what they say, I presume. Bob Casey opposes Abortion on Demand, and considers himself pro-life, though this voting rhetoric, same with Reid, though he does have a slightly more liberal record on that regard. Scratch that Reid now, has a  fully pro-choice, voting record.

[Joe Republic]

Brian Sandoval

[Person Man]

What does it mean to "oppose abortion on demand"? It could mean anything from what the Israelis, Germans, and British have, where it just has to be for an articulated and not intentionally offensive reason or it could be like in Mexico or Poland, where you have to prove that you need one and that it is initially assumed that you don't need one.

[Sir Mohamed]

Scott Brown is also pro-choice.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Added Sandoval and Brown to the first list.  Does anyone want to weigh in on Sununu, Capito, Cuellar, Justice, or Fayard?  Democrats for Life endorses Fayard and gives Cuellar a very high rating.  Republican Majority for Choice has supported Capito in the past, but she has a 100% pro-life voting record in the Senate.  Sununu voted to fund PP in NH, but I can't find any comment of his on abortion itself.  And, Justice has refused to really say where he stands on abortion when he is asked in the WV race.

[Person Man]

Basically, there are only like 2 really pro-life Democrats in the Senate and only 3 really pro-choice Republicans there. I think that is the way it has been since at least 2004.

The only Rs on that list who I'd call pro-choice are Kirk, Collins, and possibly Baker and Scott. Most of them are absolutely awful on abortion.

Most pro-choice Republicans support a woman's right to choose until the third trimester it seems ... and supporting abortion in the third trimester is actually a pretty fringe position, isn't it?...  I mean the baby is practically out of the womb, it is very, very different from first trimester.

[Person Man]

I had another question. Would it make sense to be a vegetarian if you were a Pro-Life Democrat?

Pro-life Republican vegetarian checking in.

I can understand the trimester thing. I was talking about the fact that they support banning minors from crossing state lines to get abortions, and things like that.

Pro-life Republican vegetarian checking in.

Very respectible CLE.

It always makes sense to be a vegetarian.

I'd call myself a CLE believer and I'm a pescatarian, but I don't understand my choice to eat fish to be the greatest moral choice; it's something I do out of concupiscence and laziness. I'm too invested in Small Town Dairy Culture™ to be sold on veganism, but I aspire to go lacto-ovo some day.

Vegetarianism is one issue that I totally sympathize with and admit that I'm just lazy, immoral POS for not participating ... because I don't, and I love meat.

But the treatment of animals today is unbelievably wrong.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Don't forget Bruce Rauner.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Isn't Lynn Jenkins from Kansas Pro-choice or at least a mixed record?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Isn't Harry Reid openly pro-life but has had a more liberal record on the issue by year?

EDIT: Isn't one or both of the Bush wives pro-choice?

Reid was pro-life when he hadn't been Majority leader yet. When he obtained the position in 2007 he decided to "vote pro-life, whip pro-choice", but that has gradually deteriorated over the years.

EDIT: Isn't one or both of the Bush wives pro-choice?

Laura Bush said on the day before they moved into the white house that Roe v. Wade should not be overturned.  The GOP quickly unleashed the lions and then she stayed quiet for a while.  After George's presidency ended, she has been vocal about supporting abortion rights and same-sex marriage rights.  I'm not sure about her mother-in-law.  I always expected that the elder Bush did not have an opinion on the matter one way or the other, but was expected by his backers to form a pro-life opinion, so he did.  The younger Bush opposed a number of total abortion bans, but was generally quiet about that, and in public preached the anti-abortion message like his father did.
