“If liberals want to abort their kids...i say good riddance, less liberals.”
And they still can, in liberal states.
“You religious nuts are hurting our party!”
Go found your own party then. Or maybe you will get your wish and all us “religious nuts” will stop voting Republican and you can be a permanent minority for another 40 years until you beg us to come back.
“you have risked it all on a fringe issue!”
Serious question: do you think slavery was a “fringe issue” in the early 1800s?
Total BS analogy! Abortion is a fringe because it was last on the list of priorities for voters and with one stupid decision, just killed any chance of making inroads with a key voting block! Also, when Democrats say “republicans will take away gay marriage” or any other right as they see it, they will believe it because of this one decision. Wake up! We need the religious right at the moment but were turning people to the dark side by the numbers every day. We cannot appeal to those ready to come to our side by wanting to end gay marriage or abortion however so your side is going to have to capitulate.
The religious right is also known for sitting out key elections because candidates do not meet their ultra high standards!
