About The RMC
The Republican Majority for Choice is an organization of common sense Republicans across the country who support the traditional Republican tenets of limited government and personal freedom. We work to both protect those freedoms, to remove divisive social issues from the Republican Party Platform, and restore the Big Tent approach to the GOP.
As Republicans, we know that the fight for choice does not involve around a single issue, but instead involves many different dilemmas that American families face. This includes affordable access to birth control; compassionate care for rape victims; advocating for potentially life-saving embryonic stem-cell research; providing teenagers with the ability to make healthy decisions; and making sure women are given information on all the options.
We are also deeply involved in the fight to reinvigorate the common sense majority within the Republican Party, and speak up constantly within to remind Party leaders that social extremists are not the majority in the GOP. We believe that while there are different wings of the Republican Party, we should focus on the founding principles that bring us together: limiting the size of government, protecting personal decisions, growing the economy through fiscal conservatism, and building a strong national defense.

I am SO glad I found this blog. I added a link to it from my very small (eg.unread) blog!!!

Given the current state of the Republican Party, I fear that “choice”, “moderate”, and Republican are not likely to be in the same sentence. The party has been taken over by the fringe right.

I am glad to have found this site!
What is RMC’s stance on same-sex marriage? I am a heterosexual who thinks the issue falls into the same category as abortion; it’s no one’s business but my own and certainly not the governments. Maybe I haven’t read enough but so far no mention of this issue . . .

Dear Sally,
So glad you found RMC’s site. Our legal charter only covers us to advocate for the protection of reproductive rights. However, we enjoy strong partnerships with many organizations including the Log Cabin Republicans, as we support similar candidates who promote limited government.

Thanks for your reply and answering my question. I’ve become a delusioned Republican and glad there are people out there who feel the same.
I’m looking forward to finding a way to help.

I just found this blog through googling “pro-choice republican.” Glad this exists. I’m a 52-year old women of young kids who yearns for the original Republican party–not the one highjacked by the moral majority.
How do the college Republican organizations accept this blog and its message?

I changed from Republican to Democrat in 2001. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1996 and didn’t like the GOP’s general position on stem cell research or the war for that matter. The rise of the Tea Party has meant the complete takeover of the party by right-wing nut-jobs. I wish all remaining RINOs good luck.

Rayilyn,
Not all Republicans are adverse to stem cell research. In fact, a slew of elected Republicans support not only stem cell research, but also the possibly life-saving embryonic stem cell research. Although previous Republican administrations failed to adequately support embryonic stem cell research, this is not the sentiment of the entire party. RMC and our endorsed candidates/ legislators understand and value scientific progress. Recent extreme candidates have projected a false image, misconstruing the entire Party as far-right. Their regressive platforms may have been heard the loudest during the election, but moderate Republicans remain constant and enduring, beyond midterm hype. Do not let a few shrill candidates speak for the entire party, commonsense Republicans exist and were elected just last week! Be well!

Just wanted to express my respects to this site, and the people who are running it. I honestly didn’t know there were Republicans who were pro choice.. (No disrepect intended.) I’m actually a Democrat.. But I think I’ll visit your page periodically to read your calm and respectful perspective.. Am I sounding weak if I say that I think both parties may have good points on any given issue? Like some of the comments I’ve read on this site, I miss common sense and respectful discourse.. On both sides..
Anyway, Thanks for reading..
Respectfully,

[...] And if you think those are sites run by a bunch of godless liberals, consider learning about the Republican Majority for Choice. As Texans battle to reallocate funds away from the destructive industry that is abortion, we also [...]

This website helps show the world that the extremist views of some calling themselves republicans do not represent what the party has long stood for. Recently, when I criticized extremist positions, a friend was offended and said, “I took it personally because I AM a republican woman.” To All republican women: YOU ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH THE FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST VIEWS AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CARRY THAT BURDEN. When anyone criticizes extremists, they are NOT talking about the views this party has always stood for!
