If the GOP fails to keep it's word on abortion, it will be a minority party again. For many of us, the major difference between the parties has been LIFE and related moral issues.
Your loss will be filled with pro-choice conservatives that vote Democratic or not at all because of the RNC's anti-abortion stance. The rabid anti-abortionists scare off more voters than they attract.
The fact is that the RNC will be the minority if it goes along with the rabid anti-abortion agenda. Seriously, it would be better for both you and the party if you went ahead and left for another party. The RNC could be abortion neutral and the conservative movement will go on just fine.

That may be. The choice is simple, either remain and act as a pro-life party, or not. If not, forget the Hispanic vote, forget the Catholic vote and assume that the evangelical vote will return to not voting. Gamble, if you want. But remember, you have to get your views accepted by the people, especially folks like me at the local, state and national conventions. Trust me, it won't be easy.
But if abortion staying unrestricted is the strategy you want to embrace, even at the risk of both secular power and your eternal soul -- you have free will,go for it. Just be prepared to pay the price.
