Slavery was ended in a bloodbath, not at the ballot box.
Look, your view of this issue and mine are not that far apart.
But your faith in electing politicians as a means to the end of stopping abortion is misplaced, in my view, and likely to do more harm than good.
Elections are not going to end abortion. Not ever.
That paled in comparison to the bloodbath of abortion.

I am curious, what do you propose the pro-life movement do? Do you think we should just accept that 1.3 MILLION babies a year are killed?
You can argue that elections ALONE will not win the battle against abortion, but they are one of the important things that has to be done.
The majority of the American people oppose abortions in most cases. Support for abortion as it is currently practiced is less than a third.
That majority is counteracted by the press, which is 95% pro-abort, by the entertainment industry, by academia, and by activist judges. That’s one reason why elections are important, because judges are mostly appointed by politicians. We are where we are because the pro-aborts worked harder at shaping SCOTUS than we did.
Yes, we need to change the culture, and the press, and the educational institutions. But we also need to elect pro-lifers to office as an important part of what needs to be done.
