Again, the “no compromise” crowd in Kansas delayed prolife legislation for decades in Kansas because it did not “save all the babies”.
We finally took Tiller to Court based on NRLC model legislation that Judy Brown, ALL, Nellie Gray and Operation Rescue opposed.
“Defeat the enemy” is the rule of war.
It is also the only workable strategy in politics.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
If an abortionist does not like the legislation? We probably ought to pass the legislation. It is really that simple.
And you have blood on your hands if you actively disagree.
I don’t see the two as being mutually exclusive. I can be both adamantly pro-Life AND hold the political mechanics view that the best way to get there are incremental steps, starting with holding Dems to the “rare” part of their old (and at this point somewhat abandoned, I’ll admit) “Safe, legal and rare” philosophy.
I can do that right?
One of the reasons we lose to Dems is because they are “progressive”. By that I mean they understand that there’s a desired end goal, but it’s going to take a while to get there. So they constantly chip away, taking a 50% win, or a 25% win or a 10% win knowing that once they have it they’ll immediately go after what they didn’t get.
It has the benefit of having been proven to work, in practice. We have no one to blame for ourselves for not learning from it.
with all due respect Kansas, care to run that one past Jesus? Are His hands "bloody" in Matthew 18:6?
Sorry, opposing abortion does not equate to having blood on ones hands.
” And you have blood on your hands if you actively disagree.”
I disagree wholeheartedly.
And those who support or push abortion on FR, even as an “acceptable evil” in a candidate are compromised in character and integrity.
If you are willing to compromise on that, who and what else will you sell out?
Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is just another enemy...convenient platitudes notwithstanding.
I wasn’t part of the “crowd” in your home state of Kansas. But when it comes to my personal support, it won’t be thrown behind anyone who supports abortion or queers.
If that somehow translates in your mind to me having blood on my hands, well...I’d suggest that you might want to take some time this afternoon and have a little nap. It might refresh your mental clarity. If, afterward, your opinion is the same, that’s okay with me.
And you have ZOT on yours.
