Jim, maybe I’m not quite understanding what happened before, but it looked to me like that poster was arguing FOR the ultimate elimination of abortion, but by incremental means. It wasn’t exactly clear based on the few posts I saw (following the initial post) but if one were to give him the benefit of the doubt it would seem like he wanted to nickel-and-dime it to death, much like the Democrats have incrementally pushed socialism on the country.
While I think legal abortion is disgusting and abhorent, I can certainly see the logic behind an argument that we should refrain from making abortion a central issue in campaigns if that issue is causing us to lose elections. IOW, get elected first, using whatever issues necessary to do so, and then work on eliminating abortion. I don’t really think that’s necessary since the majority is on our side on this issue, but I can understand the argument.
