Since this line of discussion began with my saying I would support the republicans (excepting Cochran which is a special case, and according to the Miss. Supreme Court not even decided yet), I said that Scott Brown would be an additional special case. That is because I’ve heard he is pro-abortion. If that is so, I said I’d not support him...or any pro-abortion republican.
Actually, I don’t know of many pro-abortion republicans. They tend to be pro life.
For me that’s good because that is my line in the sand. However, if someone crosses that line, then they don’t get my support, nor the support of many conservatives like me who have life as their number one issue.
And it should be. Any politician who will condone murder will backstab you on anything else. They’ve already admitted that murder doesn’t bother them.
Murder is not a matter of pragmatism. It’s a matter of evil.
Yes. Abortion is evil. Do you have a plan to ban it? Can your plan work in the here and now?
I think Democrats are largely successful because they fight as a team for every little bit they can get. If they can’t get it all, they settle for a little now and come back for more later.
If you want to eliminate abortion, what political strategy is most likely going to work? First, you have to win elections. That should go without saying but seems impossible for some here to grasp. Do you try to pass a total ban? That would almost certainly fail, but as a symbolic gesture, it seems more important to some than actually reducing abortions.
No. The best approach is one that keeps nibbling away at abortion until there’s almost nothing left. Then you might even get your shot at a real ban. In the meantime, real lives will be saved.
That’s what I’m saying about general elections. You can’t have what you want right now, but don’t walk away! Take the best you can get now and fight again tomorrow. In no way am I advocating surrender. So we lost this round to the RINOs. Don’t make it even worse by not voting! That helps ensure something even worse than a RINO wins.
