From Delaware Politics:

If Michael Steele gets forced out of his role as GOP Chairman by the pro-life movement as a result of his remarks, which, I’ll remind people, were pro-life remarks, then I’m leaving the party. And I’m pro life.

I am not sure how they were pro-life remarks. Steele himself may be pro-life, but his remarks definitely offered quarter to those who think abortion is a choice. An individual choice that only women can make. The Pro-Life movement, and the Republican Party, has long sought to give no quarter to those on the pro-choice side. Indeed, if you were pro-choice, you were a murderer. You were killing babies. That has been the mantra of the Pro-Life movement, and Republicans seeking the votes of the Pro-Life movement, since at least 1980. It did not matter that Roe v. Wade was the law of the land and that women did in fact have the ability to make the choice. According to the Pro-Life movement, they shouldn’t be allowed to make that choice, even in cases of rape and incest, and even in cases where the woman’s life was in danger. For if a woman chooses abortion, she and all involved in the decision, including the doctors and nurses, were immoral.
