It seems a little bit too convenient to claim we can’t do anything to restrict abortion if we can’t ban it outright. Senator Paul tries to pass a law that he knows has zero chance of passing, but he won’t vote to pass laws to restrict abortion? That seems like a political ploy used to fool voters when one really doesn’t want to act, much like the zillion times the House voted to repeal Obamacare.
If you believe you are right, then campaign to win public support and shut up about how hard it is.
We may already be at critical mass of public support on the subject of abortion. But apparently our representatives are happy only with using the issue to whip up grassroots support, but then doing nothing tangible to change the law. Kinda like the democrats are happy with the welfare state as it is because it wins them votes.
