How To Tell When a Candidate is Merely "Cosmetically Pro-Life"

The Republican Party was founded on the principle that no human being should be considered the property of another. Protecting the Right to Life is the moral issue of our day that must be addressed for our Party and our Nation to survive.

If we are ever going to restore legal protections of the Right to Life from conception until natural death, we must guard ourselves against the mindset of "Republicans for Choice" who have declared a "battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party".  Don't let them win this battle!

They say, "Focus on issues that unite us."

We say, "If we can't be trusted to protect the unalienable Right to Life, we can't be trusted to uphold any other rights."

They say, "Electoral victories are dependent upon having 'pro-choice' or 'mixed-choice' moderate candidates on the national ticket." 

We say, "Watering down our principles--beginning with the Right to Life--is what has led us to minority status as a party."

Republican candidates all know what buzz words to use to appeal to conservative crowds. We say, ask the right questions and they must reveal their beliefs.

Here are some questions to help you dig deep:

1. Do you agree that all innocent human beings, from fertilization until natural death, at every stage of life, deserve legal protection?

2. Should a woman have the legal right to an abortion for any of the following reasons:
   The baby was conceived through rape or incest?
   The baby has a handicap?
   The baby has a genetic defect?
   The health of the mother?

3. Will you introduce, sponsor and/or vote for legislation that defines human life as beginning at fertilization?

4. Do you agree with the Republican Party Platform principles about the elderly, handicapped, and infirm, including: opposing euthanasia, assisted suicide, non-consensual withholding of care or treatment because of disability, age or infirmity.

5. Will you vote to ban scientific research that involves the killing of human embryos?

6. Will you vote to ban human cloning?

7. Will you sponsor, work and vote for legislation that protects the conscience rights of health care professionals and organizations who refuse to perform, provide for, fill a prescription for, or refer for a health care service including abortion or abortion causing drugs?

8. Will you vote against taxpayer funding of surgical abortions and abortion-causing drugs such as RU-486
and the “morning after” pill under the guise of “family planning?”

Be the Life of the Party and hold Republican politicians accountable to pro-life principles!  Tolerate nothing less!

Absolutely correct.

The three most important (or only) morally legitimate purposes of government are the protection of:

Life.
Liberty.
Property. (Pursuit of Happiness)

In that order.

While I firmly believe that the federal government has no business regulating domestic crimes of violence that do not cross state boundaries, and that ultimately this decision must be left to the states, the life of an unborn child is no less important than the life of the elderly, crippled, or otherwise infirm...

Candidates who will support Federal intervention into the states' rights in this or any subject should not be supported

You are correct that crimes of violence that do not cross state boundaries fall under the jurisdiction of states and local government, not the federal government. However, the foundation that establishes the principle that the right to life comes from God and is unalienable and must be protected is at the federal level and needs clarification to include preborn children.

Once that is done, it is up to the states--not to choose whether or not abortion should be legal or not, but to do the job of protecting this unalienable right!
