What Will You Do if McCain Chooses a Pro-Choice VP?

Rumor has it that McCain is calling around asking grassroots republicans what they will do if he chooses a Pro-Choice VP. Upon hearing this rumor I thought it might be a good question to ask.
McCain really shined at the Saddleback forum. In my opinion he gained the support of many evangelicals and brought a sense of “comfortableness” to conservatives going out to vote for him. However, he is still highly suspect when it comes to Christian values, close to the middle on many issues. He obviously will side with liberals in many things he feels will be best for the country.
However, he did state in the forum that he believes life begins at conception. He is also for overturning Roe v. Wade and states on his website that he believes:
Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.
McCain has said he’ll choose Supreme Court justices like those who have already cast votes to restrict abortion rights. “I will look for people in the cast of John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and my friend, the late William Rehnquist — jurists of the highest caliber,”.
However, McCain does also support embryonic stem cell research, which makes him less than 100 percent Pro-Life. Also in the past McCain has flip-flopped on wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade (in 1999 he told the San Francisco Chronicle that he would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade). However, on McCain’s website he has in bold that he is for legislation that will overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain also is in favor of an exception to opposition of abortion in the cases of rape and incest with no testing requirement for rape.
I heard it said today that if McCain chooses a Pro-Choice VP then there will be 3 democrats or liberals on the Presidential ticket, so people will be more inclined to vote for Obama.
So here it is:
