“George W, had very powerful effects on pro-life efforts,” Globalist George W gave us 8 years of Obama. Not good for the pro-life cause. His first choice for SC was some woman with no record. He only withdrew her nomination after conservatives balked.
Your post 67 was more than answered in post 69, you are playing games.
Passionate pro-life presidents like Reagan and George W, had very powerful effects on pro-life efforts, and pro-life politics save lives.
When a politician becomes a campaigner against the pro-life movement, and starts undermining it, he is causing deaths, and weakening the movement, and undermining the party platform, which is a deliberate action that Rand Paul has taken as he has already started campaigning against the social conservative platform.
On January 22, thousands gathered on the National Mall in Washington for the annual March for Life that takes place on the date that Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court.
The same week, the Republican National Committee decided that it was time for the national party to wade back into the pro-life waters after a perceived hiatus from using it as a platform issue. A Resolution on Republican Pro-Life Strategy formally re-established abortion as a 2014 election issue for the party and seeks to push back on the war on women rhetoric that Democrats have made synonymous with the pro-life movement.
The RNC clearly believes once again that a prominent pro-life position plays well with voters. Perhaps the national party has taken note of whats happening at the state level. Twenty-four states enacted 53 anti-abortion measures in 2013 alone.
Research from the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute shows that in the last three years, states have enacted an unprecedented 205 different abortion restrictions. This was made possible by the fact that over half of the states in the union have pro-life governors and pro-life majorities in their legislatures.
