Fred’s not “trying a new tactic.” His position is identical to Jerry Ford’s. Oppose abortion, let the states decide...in other words, let the states decide if the God-given rights to life and liberty are revocable.
The Reagan position prevailed over twenty years ago in the GOP, recognizing the personhood of the unborn, and their inclusion in the protections that are supposed to be afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment, and these Stephen A. Douglas democrats, masquerading as Republicans, are trying to gut the prolife platform he instituted.
If they succeed, the Republican Party is dead. And I for one will say “good riddance.” America already has one prodeath party, it doesn’t need another.
Look, I appreciate your commitment to life, but regardless of the GOP's past position, abortion has not gone away. And it's not likely to while it is still in the Feds hands.
I agree with you on the RINO's, but I don't count Fred as one of them.
