You can throw a drug dealer in jail. What do you propose for pregnant woman who want an abortion. Jail? Jail doctors who perform abortions? Put mics in the offices of all OBGYNs?
I am sure these questions vexed GWB and Reagan, both of whom were staunchly pro-life, yet did nada about abortion. I am pro-life, but have no idea how to solve the abortion problem. My conversion to the pro-life position was personal. It was the result of inner reflection, scientific evidence, and life experience. Nothing Reagan or Bush or any court did impacted me.
I am pro-life, but have no idea how to solve the abortion problem.
I do:
1. Launch a HUGE federally funded campaign that is as professionally driven as the effort to reduce smoking in this country. Make getting pregnant out of wedlock as ‘socially unacceptable’ as smoking at the dinner table in a restaurant.
2. Start tacking the root of the problem, not the symptom and the ROOT of the problem is MALES, not females. If MALES weren’t out there acting like roosters in a hen house there would be far fewer pregnancies that become candidates for abortion
3. As part of the nationwide campaign to make unwanted pregnancies (notice the emphasis is not on abortion, but on PREGNANCY) repeately expose the ECONOMICS of abortion, over and over and over until every TV view can recite them and by ‘economics’ I mean the dollars that Planned Parenthood and other orgs earn from wholesale abortion; if there is one thing that libs don’t like it is funding big organizations. P.P. needs to be exposed for the dollar machine that it is
This is just a start. Any Madison Avenue ad company worth its salt can engineer a massive ten-year campaign that could change the face of this issue at the grass roots level.
Shrieking about abortion as ‘immoral’ (which it is, in my opinion) is a loosing battle. Applying smart ‘management’ skills to the problem is a potential winner.
GWB disallowed funds for abortion in the military and the United Nations, and picked two SCOTUS judges which will lead us in the right direction when it comes to reversing Roe.
Rudy has a history of picking liberal judges as he did in NYC.
