If Romney Chooses A Female VP

[AmericanNation]

When was the last time the GOP won with a pro choicer?  Ever?

A pro choice VP could convert like Bush the elder did in 1980.

I was thinking "that doesn't seem possible" but didn't think to check.  thanks.

Kay Bailey Hutchison? Pro-choice, but a Southerner. Lots of experience, but maybe too old.

KBH is not pro-choice. I'll never understand where this misconception developed.

She's called herself pro-choice in the past, and her most recent statements on the issue are incoherent.  However, she does have a pro-life voting record.

A "pro-life voting record" just means that you vote for various restrictions on abortion.  You can think that abortion should basically be legal, but also support various restrictions on it, like parental consent for minors and banning partial birth abortion.  I'd still call someone like that "pro-choice", because they still think that abortion should basically be legal.

The question of whether abortion should be legal or not in the generic case is something which can't be reflected in one's voting record, because Roe vs. Wade means that Congress is unable to weigh in on it.

Well sure, but in practice only a few people in Congress who call themselves pro-choice vote with NARAL less than a majority of the time.  
Meanwhile "pro-life" Harry Reid votes with NARAL consistently. I can't figure that one out.

It is relative.  
If, you oppose militant pro abortionists, you are pro life.
If, you oppose militant pro lifers, you are pro choice.
If, you generally want to restrict and discourage abortion, pro life
Nothing above has anything to do with legalizing/outlawing.
if you went buy that standard I guess I'm pro-choice than, despite siding with pro-lifers on just about every restriction on abortion.  Odd thought.
