They’re not part of the choir, though, if they don’t understand the natural law, natural right, moral basis of this free republic.
When even FReepers don’t understand, or choose to ignore, the most fundamental and important facts about our national principles, the Constitution’s stated purposes, and its explicit, imperative requirements, it’s obvious that the first work that has to be accomplished is among those who claim to be “pro-life” conservatives.
They are at the same time the main obstacle to ending the bloodshed, AND the only hope for doing so.
Which is exactly why I take the time for threads like this one.
This is as “retail” as it gets.
If there were a referendum in my state tomorrow defining abortion at any moment after conception as murder, and making no exceptions whatever, I would vote for it.
So you do not need to convince me.
But I (unlike you??) know that referendum would lose. Probably by at least two to one, maybe more.
Likewise, any candidate who openly says "I'll ban all abortion by executive action, damn the courts" will lose, certainly by a bigger margin still.
And babies will go on dying until the majority of voters sees it your way, but then, you've already made it abundantly clear that this is not as much a problem to you as is the taint of apparent compromise.
