National Right to Life Committee to Endorse Fred Thompson.

Nov 12, 2007 14:56

You may have heard today that Fred Thompson is being endorsed by the National Right to Life. (NRLC) NRLC is the largest pro-life organization that has a great force in politics. They can make or break a candidate in a lot of cases. Usually many people make their decision after hearing what NRLC has to say ( Read more... )

well he's prolife and not..entirely anti gay marriage.

Why don't we ever have queer friendly and pro life candidates run? would that be so hard?

It would make a candidate pretty much unelectable, seems to me. Though I would love to see one, too.

Well, the Republicans aren't really a "queer friendly" party, are they? ;)

No, but it's sad, because to me, the gay marriage issue and pro-life issue are somewhat...umm...for lack of a better term..."married". Many times from the pro-choice side I get "Who will take care of all the baybeez OMFG?!!?!?!?!!!1111one". I usually shoot back with, "Well, adoption reform, and then allowing gay people to marry and adopt would fix both problems now, wouldn't it? Tons of children + tons of couples who essentially can't have their own children = everyone's happy". Come to think of it, I've never had a response to that...

Well, not to get into a gay marriage debate, but gay people currently can adopt. And I personally am not against gay adoption so long as the "evangelicals" aren't doing the job.

It's OK, we won't let gay evangelicals adopt :P

It's hard or nearly impossible in some areas, and the adoption system itself still needs to be reformed in America.

Just for the sake of argument, let's assume that a Democrat can be pro-life. (Hey, it happens.)

But I still think such a candidate would be unelectable.

*mutters angrily about the 2 "I'm pro-choice" responses in a poll located in PRO-LIFE*

I put that in there to be funny, but I don't think that those people actually belong to the community because the poll is public. (I forgot to make it friends-only) Some people (yes!) go from random LJ poll to random LJ poll answering them.

I hadn't noticed it was public.

I saw those two votes. I was like 'What?'
