I too hope they shift.
The thing about abortion is...we had Republicans in the WH and Congress and what was done? You’d think at least partial birth abortion would have been outlawed.
I just read this a.m. that Michelle Obama considers PBA a “letitimate medical procedure”. And she is supposed to be smart? She’s either stupid or evil.
As for the “what have the Republicans done”? question:
We have our hands tied, since much of what we try to do is thrown out by the courts.
I am hopeful that the radicalism of Obama will convince the next Pro Life Congress to restrict the jurisdiction of the courts, on the abortion issue.
Read the Constitution, Congress definitely has the power to tell the Courts to back off on the matter. However, such an act would be painted, by the MSM as “radical” -— and unfortunately, we have some prolife leaders who do not see the value of making abortion a “States Rights” issue. (As it was before Roe). I would go a bit further, however, in defense of Republicans: Look at what did NOT happen, due to Republicans being in power! The stuff that Obama is trying to do now, or HAS DONE, like funding abortions in foreign countries, was not possible with Republican control of Congress.
