Does it Matter That Condi Rice Is ‘Mildly Pro-Choice?’ (POLL)

Last night, the media were buzzing over the claim that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice might be on GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney’s vice-presidential short list. While some have flatly rejected such a notion, others are very clearly entertaining it. In the end, the reaction — even if the reports are baseless — has been diverse and noteworthy.
As we’ve reported, in the past Rice has said that she will not be Romney’s running mate. Furthermore, some journalists say that sources from within the campaign reject the notion that she’s even being considered. Still, there’s no shortage of buzz over the news. From radio host Rush Limbaugh to former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, it seems practically everyone has an opinion.
Among the many issues, though, pending Rice truly is being considered, would be her views on abortion. Separating from the vast majority of conservatives, the former secretary of state has described herself as “mildly pro-choice.” While this title certainly wouldn’t be fervent enough to attract the praise of far-leftists, it serves as a potential turn-off to many on the right.
(Related: Report: Condoleezza Rice Near the Top of Romney’s VP Short List)
“I myself am someone who believes strongly in parental notification. … I’m against late-term abortion, which is, I think, really very cruel,” Rice said in a 2008 interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
While this is certainly sentiment that conservative Republicans would embrace, Rice went on to say in that same interview that she does not support overturning Roe vs. Wade.
“I have not wanted to see the law changed because it’s an area that I worry about the government being involved in,” she proclaimed.
Watch her make these comments, below:
In an election year between President Barack Obama, an incumbent candidate that many see as vastly liberal and Mitt Romney, an individual who has sometimes struggled to captivate conservative audiences, one wonders if Rice’s abortion views would be problematic. After all, some would argue that Romney needs a running mate with solid right-of-center credentials. Not everyone shares these concerns, though.
Take, for instance, Palin, who held little praise back for Rice during an appearance on Fox News’ “On the Record With Greta van Susteren” last night.
“I think that Condoleezza Rice would be a wonderful vice president, and she certainly has much more experience than our sitting president does today,” Palin said.
As for abortion, a hot-button issue for conservatives and liberals, alike, Palin showed very little concern over Rice’s pro-choice views. While she said she’d prefer candidates who respect “all innocent, precious, purposeful human life,” she said that legislating abortion is Congress’ role — not a vice-president’s.
What do you think? Does it matter to you that Rice is “mildly pro-choice?” Would her views impact your vote? Take the poll, below:

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:59amYou know – unfortunately there will never be a candidate who is 100% in phase with every one of my desires, or yours, or anybody else’s. Whether you like it or not, there will be no President Ron Paul, or Jesse Ventura, or Joe the Plumber – or whoever else it is that you think is the ‘perfect’ candidate. There is no such perfect person.
Nonetheless, we have a CLEAR choice here. There are two candidates with the possibility of winning the election. You must pick the one who most closely matches your views, and YOU MUST VOTE! In this case you have one candidate who is a card-carrying (even if he won’t admit it) communist who seems hell-bent on destroying the Constitution, and another candidate who – regardless of what else he might be – does NOT want to destroy the Constitution, and is NOT a communist.
That, my friends, is a NO BRAINER!

Obama has publicly stated that he would be in favor of murdering his own grandchildren because he didn’t want his daughter “punished with a baby”. SICK!

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:47amBeing a pro-life voter is silly. I am very very pro-life but the Republicans will never overturn it. It is a winning issue because they get votes simply for being pro-life. Think about when Bush was President Republicans controlled both houses of congress and still we have abortion. I think abortion is horribly immoral but I want a President that will turn the economy around because no matter who the President is they will not overturn Roe Vs Wade. It is important from a judicial prospective.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:05amAnybody who votes for a President because of their stance on Abortion is an idiot. A President sets the tone for the country. Both Romney and Condi have expressed how BAD of an idea abortion is, but its not their place to decide for AMERICANS, who have the right to screw with their bodies as they wish. Its sad that a fetus/child may be aborted (could be the next scientist that cures cancer), and I believe anyone who murders a child should be punished, but I don‘t need a President to tell me that or a Congress to pass a law protecting life when it can’t survive on its own. As a society we must find another way.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:12pmDon’t vote…stay home, that will solve everything. Look, you are not going to agree on everything with a candidate. It’s that simple. You have have to find the one that shares what you deem to be the most important to you. If for you it is abortion, then by all means don’t vote. I for one am very anti-abortion myself, but this country is not at a stage that is beyond that issue. That issue is one for us to take up when we are not in danger of losing our country. In that light, when I look at Romney and Rice, I like my chances and the country’s chances a whole lot better than with Obama and Biden. I will vote for Romeny and whoever…he is not my first choice by any means, but I believe adding Rice gives him an addition edge in beating Obama and I am for it. The abortion fight will continue once we are free again! Let‘s get from under Obama’s yoke first. I don‘t see Rice enacting laws making abortion available at your corner drugstore and I don’t see her influencing Romney to do so either. She does, however, bring a wealth of knowledge and intelligence that that office has not seen in a long while.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:46pmThere are many issues that impact Americans. Abortion is but one of many. God will punish each and ever individual that is invovled in an abortion (that does not satisfy His requirements of repentance – if such a thing exists).

I appreciate Bush for many things but not being a progressive is not one of them. Condoleeza Rice seemed less of a progressive than him but she has already stated that she will not be a VP emphatically so I don’t think we need to worry about the survey. She said she will not do it.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:05pmMorality is a very important thing. You have to consider what 4 more years of BHO will do to liberty and your ability to advance your morality!! Condi Rice isn’t going to change what already is regarding abortion – that is just her personal view. As far as Romney goes – I don’t like choking on my vote either (I’ve voted for the lesser of two evils for 24 years), but the country cannot withstand another 4 years of this nation wrecker and his ilk.

I’m sure people can see that in the way autistic people will somehow be taken care of in the wilderness, and I’m sure the so-called scientists experimenting on autistic people can see it too.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:19amI agree with Ms. Rice, the government should have no role in these issues, it should be a personal choice by the woman and her family. Again the government overstepping its bounds.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:32amDoes family include the child being slaughtered? THAT is the core of the conservative oppostion to abortion. It has NOTHING to do with a woman’s “choice” (the one she made when she engaged in sex…which is why conservatives offer an exception in the case of rape or incest, as well as situations where the woman’s life is in danger) and EVERYTHING to do with the life of a child.

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 12:59pmWhat is so surprising to me is that my fellow conservatives cannot see the left is up to their old tricks again. This is a distraction issue, and meant to wedge conservatives apart. This is the only reason the media is bringing this issue up. Stay focused people, and stop concentrating on the shiny object. Getting Obama out of office is the ultimate goal!

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 11:29pmMost Blacks don’t like Condi.. Romney doesn’t need to pander to blacks…he will only get 3 or 4% of their vote and they are only 15% of the contry’s population, and only 25% of that 15% are eligible to vote anyway. It is a negligible number. Romney’s a businessman and he will see that trying to get the black vote is moot.
There are a lot of better choices to try and get the female vote. Bachmann, Rubio, Ryan.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:15amYour poll is poorly worded. Absolutely, it would impact my vote. I would be much more inclined to vote for a Romney-Rice ticket, but I don‘t think that’s what some people would have in mind.
Report Post »Too many people have the idea that if you are ‘pro-choice’ you think that all pregnancies should be terminated. On the other hand, if you are ‘pro-live’ even spontaneous abortions should be outlawed.
I know many of you don’t agree with me, but there has to be a middle ground.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:13amLook I don‘t care what these people believe in as long as they DON’T believe in taking my right to believe what I CHOOSE to believe in away from me. I’ve never minded having to honestly debate these issues with people that disagree with me. That used to be one of the things that made this country great. We had the freedom to openly debate these things in an honest fashion and sometimes just agree to disagree. No I think Rice is an honest enough woman and intelligent enough to debate this issue with integrity and could possibly be convinced that it’s wrong. I think she well beyond those in power now, is definitely a resonable intelligent common-sense woman that could be convinced with logical factual info and be open-minded enough to possibly change her position on it. All hope is not lost on a woman like her even if she currently disagrees with my position. Just sayin!

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:27pmCrisis Pregnancy centers do not provide medical care . They deceive young women who come to their clinics and distribute medical misinformation on abortion and contraception. In some states they even advertise under Abortion in the yellow pages to lure unsuspecting women into their clinics.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:10amCondi has made it clear that she WILL NOT BE Romney’s VP – she DOES NOT WANT the position – SHE IS NOT INTERESTED. So, buzzing about her name is a dumb game. And yes, if she is pro-abortion, then she would be a problem. Romney needs to choose a conservative, pro-LIFE VP who will FIRE UP conservatives, not some old, progressive left-over from the Bush administration.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:59amI have no qualms with anyone wanting an abortion, having an abortion. I don’t want those kinds of people reproducing. Also, people don’t go through life having sex only for reproductive means. Contraceptives aren’t perfect. Human behavior isn’t perfect. Conception is not a miracle, it’s biology. You had sex, you’re now pregnant, I don’t see the miracle. There are no brain waves in the first 42 days from conception, it is never more clear in that time frame it is a woman’s choice to abort.
