You help to advance the me me that this is the republican position. Romney disavoyed the the Senate candidate that stepped in the media minefield. The republican position is with the 52 percent but this is one of the medias most powerful weapons. Newt Gingrich needs to give seminars on how to turn abortion questions into partial birth and infanticide answers.
GOP isn’t going to change the majority of the country’s ideological outlooks on abortion overnight—it’s been fairly static with few fluctuations for many years as evinced by this polling graph.
It would take decades to induce a fundamental cultural shift in how abortion is viewed, and it’s not really a political matter to be forced on society. Changing the cultural outlook is a long-term endeavor that’ll have to happen within homes, families, communities, person to person, etc.
