Palin's Job: Fire Up and Keep Firing Up Pro-Lifers

Posted September 3, 2008 | 10:53 AM (EST)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Republican presidential contender John McCain is if anything a good listener. The instant he heard the loud squeals from Republican pro-life hawks that his campaign would be DOA if he dared tried to shove former Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge or maverick Senator Joe Lieberman on the ticket, he back pedaled fast. Both are moderates on abortion. And that made them anathema to the hawks.

We'll never know whether McCain's brief float of their names as GOP VP possibilities was a trial balloon, a deft feint, or just loose talk. But it did set things up nicely for Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Despite much talk from McCain's camp and the pro and con pundit chatter touting her as being fresh, young, a reformer, anti-GOP establishment and an ingenious pick, or slamming her as a political school girl novice, and a disastrous pick, the fact is Palin's on the ticket to assuage the pro-life hawks. But more importantly to fire up the millions of men and women voters who demand that a GOP presidential candidate firmly oppose abortion. That's the price for their vote.

Yep. I changed the headline for the sake of the subject line.
Sorry, I can't bring myself to type out Pro anything when it comes to these people. :(

1. Forced birthers

Is what they are and what they believe in. I agree, they aren't "pro" anything.

2. It's definitely the most accurate term.

in my opinion. Probably my favorite way to describe them, to be honest. Forced birth. No regard for the child, the mother or their life AFTER the fact...just make sure there are no abortions on our watch.
