Right to Life Caucus Organizing Convention

[tmthforu94]

2 things - I like the idea of a vice-chair. I also think we should actively make endorsements, though I'm not sure if we should support someone if they're unwilling to join this caucus - keep in mind this is a single-issue caucus. So meh.

People are only allowed to officially join one caucus. Though in general, I agree, we obviously should only endorse pro-life candidates.

Eh, I think their should be a higher limit. Shoulda been paying attention during debate.

Pro-life, no exception. I think we should also list in detail our beliefs. For example, do we want to push legislation at the federal or regional level?

I'm interested in joining.

Would love to have you!

Couple of comments. First, I think you spelled euthanasia wrong (or at least, I've never seen it like that). Second, "restricting parental notification" in the second paragraph seems like a typo or poor wording.

Also, I'd love to have something on there about some other issues, like the death penalty, but that might not be the direction people want to go, which is fine. Maybe a reference to cloning?

I would like to include a passage which condemns the death penalty as I believe the right to life should count for everyone but I understand that this issue is very controversial among conservatives and within the anti-abortion community. That's why it might be difficult to find some common ground on the death penalty.

FWIW, I agree with this assessment. I personally consider "Right to Life" to be both anti-abortion and anti-death penalty.

Seeing how this will (I think) form a party once the RPP dissolves (if it does), I think we should consider changing our name to something that's not focused on just one issue, and with that, expand on our platform.
