Michael Steele on Pro-Life Criticism: "I was a Monk for Goodness Sakes!"


Michael Steele tells The Brody File that despite his involvement with the pro-choice Republican Leadership Council, he is committed to the pro-life agenda. He’s come under criticism from some pro-life groups who have publicly questioned his commitment because of the association with the RLC. More on that here.Steele is running to be Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Watch his comments above and read part of his comments below. (You really need to watch his whole answer on this)

“I was a monk for goodness sakes ok? I spent three years in a monastery. When I came out and got politically involved I was an advocate for pro-life issues. I was endorsed by National Right to Life. I don’t think they would endorse me if I were squeamish or squishy as some have called me on this issue.

“Roe versus Wade was wrongly decided. It should be overturned in my personal view.” We (GOP Party) value life born and unborn and we will fight for that and I will fight for that as an individual and I will fight for that as chairman of the party.”
