Conservative Christian Leaders Threaten To Support Third-Party Candidate
The New York Times reported on Sunday that a group of prominent conservative Christian leaders meeting in Salt Lake City agreed that if the Republican Party nominates a pro-abortion candidate, they will consider supporting a yet-unnamed third-party contender for the Presidency. The resolution is aimed at Republican front-runner, Rudolph Giuliani, who supports abortion rights. Among those at the small meeting that made this decision were James Dobson of Focus on the Family; Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council; and direct-mail expert Richard Viguerie.
