“It’s no wonder that the pro-life movement takes three steps forward and two steps back, over and over again. Whoever stumbles gets thrown out of the movement and assigned to the outer darkness. Why would anyone of sound mind want to serve under the shadow of a one-strike policy?

Sen. Brownback has been a leader for many years in the pro-life, pro-family movement, and has taken many ‘hits’ that he has never talked about in public. Politics, as many like to say, is the ultimate contact sport, as this pummeling of the Senator from Kansas exemplifies.

I think we should concentrate our efforts, and our criticism, on the real opponent, and it’s not Sam Brownback.”

for calling Sen. Sam Brownback a “turncoat.”
