Guys, come on - the religious right is such a small (loud, annoying, insipid) part of the Republican Party - most of us don't even acknowledge them, and any bones tossed to them in platforming will be quickly killed by moderates on the floor.
Also - I seriously cannot imagine a scenario in which Roe v. Wade gets overturned . . . you can call me idealistic or naive, but I feel that the 'chicken little' act is a little overplayed, seeing as people have done it every time a Republican gained office since 1980.

No, I'm voting on other issues too - and you may feel that way about the religious right, but I'm not okay with Bush's faith baith initiatives. My relationship with God is mine, not mine to force on the world.
As for the pro-choice - it's not just about abortion. It's about the Bush administration trying to limit access to birth control, and flat out denying foreign aid to countries who have contraception policies they disagree with. It's about Ashcroft wanting in my medical records.
I will expound on the other issues more in one of the other threads on that - I'm actually a very conservative Democrat but I can't really ever see myself voting Republican unless major major changes were made in the party.
