Brownback says abortion rights nominee unlikely
 Senator Sam Brownback says an abortion rights candidate will have trouble winning the Republican presidential nomination. Brownback, who is seeking the G-O-P nomination, says any dispute over abortion rights within the party have been resolved and that it is unlikely an abortion rights candidate could win the nomination.Polls show that Rudy Giuliani, who is an abortion rights candidate, on top of most polls of Republican presidential hopefuls. Brownback that status will change as hard-core party activists begin to focus on the race. Brownback also criticized former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who took an abortion rights stance as governor but has switched to anti-abortion in his bid for the G-O-P nomination. Brownback says much changes will be a deal breaker for voters. I have an opinion on abortion: I'm 51 percent against it, meaning that on very close balance I'm against it but I can see the arguments in its favor on the other side and accept the fact that it might be necessary occasionally. I am incapable of obsessing over the issue; it simply doesn't mean enough to me. Even though I don't consider it to be a good thing for society, I don't lie awake at night thinking about it. What I do lie awake thinking about sometimes is the survival of the West, and particularly the survival of the U.S.A. I have visions of the great nations of the West being overrun by beturbanned hordes of primitives who will force out grandchildren to bow down toward Mecca five times a day and slice the pubic lips off our women. Next to the survival of the very concepts of individual liberty, freedom from oppression, and the culture we've painfully built since 476 A.D., "a woman's right to choose" wouldn't appear to mean squat. If we lose, our granddaughters will have to go to the local holy man to have an abortion approved. We can guess how well that'll work. I hereby withdraw my personal approval from any politician who puts the trivial, whether it's Britney's haircut, Anna Nicole's laundry list of lovers, or abortion, before the survival of our culture.
