The state of Republican politics: GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson says he would have sided with Terri Schiavo’s parents and kept their brain-dead daughter alive.

Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee doesn’t believe in evolution, the basic principle in nature.

Front-runner Rudy Giuliani says if he were president, he would select anti-abortion Supreme Court justices in the mold of Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and John Roberts.

Candidates Mitt Romney and John McCain are anti-abortionist and pro-war as ever. What an oxymoron: Save the fetuses and squander adult lives!
