Heath Shuler: Rare pro-life Democrat in Congress

Excerpt:

Heath Shuler is that rarest of Democrats in Congress –- the pro-lifer.

The congressman from western North Carolina established himself last year, his first in the House of Representatives, as one of the half-dozen most reliably pro-life Democrats in that chamber. Shuler and five other Democratic members compiled 85 percent voting records, according to the scorecard compiled by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), making them the top pro-life congressmen in their party.

In contrast, 197 House Democrats received ratings of 0 from NRLC.

Despite his status in a party that is overwhelmingly committed to abortion rights, Shuler, a Southern Baptist, says he feels no pressure to conform when a vote on a "life" issue approaches.

"They know who I am, how I stand, and they never ask any questions," he told Baptist Press. "They can go find someone else to push on, because they know they'll never get it out of me."

Article is 2 years old and I don't follow him closely. But if this is still true, may his tribe increase!

"Life: Imagine the Potential"

Comment: Rejected as a Super Bowl ad (no surprise). I wonder what "the Goracle" would say:

Question: "What does your modeling tell you about how long we're going to be around as a species?"

The Goracle: "I don't claim the expertise to answer a question like that, Senator"
