Stanek: Pro-lifers Need to Wake Up and Smell the Filibuster

Jill Stanek has a great article laying out what's at stake in the Santorum-Casey race, not only for those who are pro-life, but for anyone who wants the next Bush SCOTUS nomination to be as successful as the first two. Amazingly, some pro-lifers in PA are apparently not going to vote for Santorum because he supported pro-choice Senator Arlen Specter over pro-life primary challenger Pat Toomey in 2004. For you PA pro-lifers out there who think that's OK because Casey is pro-life, think again. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is "pro-life" as well and he not only voted against Roberts, but also voted for the Kerry-led attempted filibuster of Alito. The fact is, when push comes to partisan shove, there are no true pro-life Democrats.
