Nope, your path is foolish at best!

Nothings says that we can not do our best, politically, while also, morally, advising that ALL abortion is wrong.

Why must abortion be handled DIFFERENTLY than every other political issue?

Politics is the very ART of COMPROMISE!

And, if you refuse to get the best deal you can, at EVERY opportunity:

YOU CREATE MONSTERS LIKE GEORGE TILLER!

George Tiller would never have been as powerful as he was, in Kansas, if not for the pro life purists who refused to put him out of business with politically popular legislation THAT WOULD HAVE PASSED!

Failing to recognize the power of incrementalism is one of the biggest failings of the conservative movement.

You don’t play football by throwing a hail mary touchdown pass every play. You don’t play baseball by trying to hit a home run every at bat.

Abortion isn’t a game and millions of lives have been lost. We can use more than one tactic.
