In America, one of the most abortion-happy countries in the world, the pro-life side has either dropped the ball on how to present its argument or has been muzzled by a pro-abortion media and a pro-abortion legal system that punishes those who try to air the abortion industry's dirty laundry. Frankly I'm not sure which is true, or if they're both true. Here are some of the myths pro-lifers tell might themselves:

MYTH: If I take a public stand on this issue, I'm seen as a freak, as anti-woman. REALITY: A majority of the US population, including a majority of women, considers themselves pro-life. Just because the pro-abortion media tries to depict you a certain way, you should not be scared of being labeled a certain way. If the only pro-life faces most complacent people see are the occasional "clinic" bomber, and they never see you, peacefully extolling the virtues of the right to life, then by staying silent on your position you are helping to paint pro-lifers as extremists.

The Right to Life is more popular than trickle down economics.

The Right to Life is more popular than the Iraq War.

So why is it the Right to Life that so many Republicans say should be abandoned in order to ‘gain votes’?

#2 ALL OF THEM.

How in the world did Republicans become brainwashed into believing the way to win votes is by dropping things?

Are democrats dropping anything?

Is Obama dropping anything?

Republicans don’t do anything EXCEPT dropping things. That’s the problem.
