While you (and I) agree abortion is murder, that is not what the existing law says. But the pro abortion movement is is a race against technology. Four d sonograms now give you a picture of the child in the womb not seen before and that picture is worth much more that a thousand words. Live saving in the womb procedures are a regular occurrence now. We as a society knows more. Over time that will sink into the conscience of people. But it is not government’s job to make it so.

Fair enough, but should the government pay for abortions? There is no reason why all Republicans shouldn't agree that the answer is no.

I respect your opinion, and am confident that we will change hearts on this issue. Yet I believe that the existence of elective abortion violates not only our founding documents, but the entire reason for God's gift of government. Government's most fundamenta lpremise is to protect life. That is why I will work legislatively, just as my brothers and sisters work in crisis pregnancy clinics.

It may be that you and I don't really disagree.

"Over time that (the knowledge that abortion is wrong) will sink into the conscience of people. But it is not government’s job to make it so."

When I see this statement it makes me laugh. If it's not government's role to decide that abortion is wrong, then why did they say it was wrong before Roe v Wade? And if they don't belong in the equation at all then why are they interjecting their power into the issue by making it legal? There is no government neutrality on abortion, they have taken a stance and are enforcing their position with the full power of the law by making it a Constitutional "right". Why are people so damn dense today?
