'08 At The March For Life
A correspondent writes in from today's March For Life:
"Amazing
One in 10 people have Brownback stickers. Just incredible."
And GOPProgress' Liz Mair reports anti-Mitt Romney literature is being distributed at the Right to Life March 1/22 in Washington, DC. Mair posts the full text of the leaflet which attacks Romeny on abortion and purported support for the 'morning after pill' RU-486. Mair comments: "It sounds as though Romney's run to the right continues to play badly. Very badly. Yet he's pursued this strategy so ardently that he really has no choice but to keep doing it. I mean, if he tries to go back to Moderate Mitt, he really will offer solid proof of the flip-flopping allegations.
RedState's Erick Erickson is bothered by the allegations: "Among the bullet points listed are allegations that Governor Romney flip-flopped on RU-486 -- as late as 2005 supposedly supportive of the idea of forcing Catholic hospitals to dispense the abortion drug. ... I've been on record saying I'm backing Romney, for now, but with Hillary's official announcement this weekend, I am forced to wonder if a Romney nomination dilutes too much the accusation that Hillary Clinton is a political opportunist when, by all indications, he is too." (Read the rest of today's Blogometer).
Sen. John McCain's March for Life statement:
"“Today marks the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Americans from all across the country will join together to demonstrate their opposition to the injustice sanctioned by that decision and our support for the sanctity of life in their individual communities. “The March for Life upholds and encourages respect for America’s first principle, that all are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. “It is the responsibility of every advocate for the rights of the innocent to communicate to our nation’s leaders our unwavering commitment to that principle. You have my deepest respect and appreciation for your refusal to be silent in the face of injustice perpetrated against the most vulnerable among us; to speak for those who cannot speak. Together, we must work to open the minds of all Americans so that we may recover our country's full devotion to the sacred right to life."
