He’s not correct.
see gallup poll reference above this comment.
My comments are correct. Clearly, people didn’t vote pro-life if Obama won. So there may be a definitional problem. Nonetheless, Mourdock and Akin lost in states that Romney won. How do you explain that?
The issue isn’t abandoning your values. The issue is that in politics you must compromise to get your way. It sounds contradictory, but if we could simply move the laws to our side incremenally we’d be there already. Demanding all or nothing is foolish.
I’d much rather elect someone who is 80% on my side, than 50% or 0%. Abandoning a candidate because they’re not 100% pro-life is a formula for failure.
