“Overturning Roe v. Wade has been a Republican party goal for a long time”
Huh? It might be your goal, it might even be the goal of other Republican activists and the occasional elected official, and even stated by the Party apparatchiks. But it is certainly not the goal of the Party Establishment for two reasons. First, the megabuck donors who pay the Party’s bills want it available for their dalliances and they are embarrassed to be associated with us rubes who are pro-lifers. Second, as was cynically noted by one party establishment fundraiser, “Dead babies don’t vote.” They have had multitudes of opportunities to do something important about abortion and they will not because they accommodate infanticide harridans like Murcowski and Collins.
My post was about the tone of the headline, not the issue of abortion. A Republican/Conservative politician declaring himself/herself pro-life doesn’t warrant such a flamboyant headline.
