Now, I won’t say this because I believe in both approaches. It is sad you are more willing to attack those who are fighting with you because you don’t understand or agree with their tactic. Remember who the enemy is.
See, you misunderstand. Overturning Roe is an admirable goal. A necessary thing. Fighting state by state against the holocaust of abortion is a good thing. Many of us have been doing that for a very long time.
However, to abandon the recognition of the personhood of the unborn child, on every inch of American territory, is to give away everything. Without this recognition, all is lost.
The war to end abortion must be fought on every front. The Presidency. The Congress. The Courts. The States. The minds and the hearts of the American people.
All who raise their right hand and swear to protect and defend the Constititon are swearing to uphold its most fundamental principles before anything else. And nothing is more foundational than the God-given, unalienable right to life.
To abandon the Fourteenth Amendment argument in the Reagan platform is to remove the only plausible reason for overturning Roe in the first place. The orginal Roe judges made it clear that if the child was considered a person, they were to be accorded Fourteenth Amendment protection. Go read Roe yourself if you don’t believe me.
But, even if through brute political force it were overturned apart from this central argument, there would still be nothing standing in the way of states continuing the slaughter, or another court simply reinstating Roe.
Far too many who call themselves pro-life are not thinking this through, and are carelessly, unthinkingly, tossing aside the central intellectual, legal, and moral arguments against abortion in America, and against Roe vs. Wade.
