Republican National Chairman Michael Steele says abortion is a choice, homosexuality is notIn a recent interview, Republican National Chairman Michael Steele told GQ magazine that he supports abortion rights. "I think that's an individual choice (to have an abortion)," he said.
Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice.
You do?Yeah. Absolutely.
Steele later issued a statement "clarifying” his comments regarding abortion saying he is “pro-life.”
Steele also disputed the view that being homosexual is a lifestyle choice. "I don't think I've ever really subscribed to that view that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. ...You just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay.' It's like saying 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black,'" explained Steele.
Steele said an amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman is a state issue and is “mucking around with the Constitution.”
In light of Chairman Steele’s remarks, should he resign as Chairman of the Republican National Committee?
We ask that only registered Republicans, or those who voted Republican in the last election participate.
