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.

CitizenUSA, I have already told you the plan. I will not support those politicians who support abortion. How exactly is it reasonable to support a republican who supports abortion if abortion is what I oppose?

Do I end talk of amnesty by supporting politicians who support amnesty? Nope, for that would be a contradiction.

Do I balance the budget by supporting politicians who support uncontrolled spending?

We cannot let our desire to win elections blind us to reality. If our team wins against our enemy who supports abortion, but our team also supports abortion, then how exactly has that helped the cause? It hasn’t.

Just for the record, I also write, donate, and speak publically in support of Life.
