My hope is that Fred will eventually realize he’s making a mistake by dissing the HLA, and it will remain in the platform. He’ll agree that supporting it is our party’s long range goal. The pro-life vote is something he can’t do without.
Fred is simply saying that making HLA an iron clad requirement is the wrong way to approach the subject. If the country ever got to the point that it was willing to accept the unborn as persons, the HLA would have no trouble passing. We are many years away from that point, if we ever get there.
