SBA List: Condi is "unqualified" for Veep

Just in case, The Susan B. Anthony List is making it clear that Condoleezza Rice is unacceptable to the influential pro-life group.

President Marjorie Dannenfelser, in a statement to the press.

“Former Secretary Rice's position on the sanctity of human life makes her an unqualified candidate for Governor Romney to choose as a running mate. Throughout the campaign, including at the Palmetto Freedom Forum last September, he has pledged to us in no uncertain terms that he would choose a pro-life running mate.

We have taken Governor Romney at his word and therefore believe Secretary Rice will be ruled out of consideration. Secretary Rice's position violates criteria that Governor Romney himself has laid out.”

The group then reminds everyone of the pledge and forwards this video from a September 2011 forum when the topic of abortion came up.

ROMNEY: This is an important enough issue that the person I would select in that position would share my views on those important issues.

HOST: So more than just expectation — would share those views?

ROMNEY: That person would share my views, yeah.

Comes 13:50 in.
