Hannity Suggests GOP Is Too Radical On Abortion After ‘Sobering’ Ohio Vote: ‘I Never Thought I’d Quote’ Bill Clinton

Fox News host Sean Hannity closed out a discussion about abortion by suggesting the Republican Party is too far to the right on the issue as far as the rest of the country is concerned.

Hannity pointed to Tuesday’s vote in Ohio, where voters rejected a ballot measure (57% to 43%) that would have raised the threshold for amending the state’s constitution from a simple majority to 60%. Supporters of the initiative hoped it would pass to thwart a November ballot measure that, if approved, will enshrine abortion protections in Ohio’s constitution.

“We saw the vote in Ohio,” he told guests Mike Huckabee and Tudor Dixon on Thursday before floating the idea that abortion bans before 15 weeks of pregnancy repel some voters. “The fear among many, many conservatives is this will chase away many suburban voters. Do you agree with that, Mike Huckabee?”

Huckabee rejected this and suggested Republicans simply have a messaging problem.

It isn’t the GOP that is too “radical” on abortion. It is the women who have veered far away from Christian values.

Abortion is the holy grail for feminist. Women are the majority of voters. Most women (minus the Muslim women) WANT to abort their babies instead of taking contraceptives for pregnancy prevention.

This is what feminist women have wrought to America. Eventually, the trans movement will wipe out those feminist, but by then it will be to late to save the USA.

“I do not believe Americans enjoy murdering babies”

I agree, but they do it and believe it should be ok to abort by a wide majority.

There were many pro-life that voted against the proposal.

Why? Because they thought it bad long term and there were poison pills in the proposal.

So it wasn’t a litmus test because the question was tainted.

Hannity is a big neocon, and a bore. His three-hour radio show is one hour of commercials, one hour of him talking about himself, and if you’re lucky, one hour of substance.

“And if you kill the fetus, a time will come when even infants will be killed...The mother will get frightened after the baby will be born...and the doctor will say her life depends upon the murder of the baby. And you have a word, mental hygiene, whatever you want you can subsume under mental hygiene...“

- Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitch

Because a majority of the women in this country under the age of 30 are amoral sluts. I say this as a father of two daughters under 30. I see the behavior of my daughter’s classmates and acquaintances up close and personal and it’s depressing. My older daughter is just beyond college years and her single friends are just as bad, if not worse. These kids have been raised in a culture that believes that there should be no consequences for poor behavior.

CDC says 40 % of all abortions are performed in the first six weeks.

That’s an unreasonable bright line for interests of the child?

There are no abortion bans in the US.

So completely sick of losers like Hannity. It’s long past time to dump his butt.

Because conservatives will not accept
a compromise in the town square,
they will end up with more abortions
than they would have.

Yes every abortion is tragic.
Yes every life saved is beautiful.

Choose:

1. Millions a year
2. Hundreds of thousands a year
3. Or accelerated abortion and euthanasia
through the first year.

As a point of reference, France has more limited
abortion law than many blue states.

—> Abortion in France is legal as an elective medical procedure during the first 14 weeks from conception.[1][2]

“Abortions at later stages of pregnancy up until birth are allowed if two physicians certify that the abortion will be done to prevent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; a risk to the life of the pregnant woman; or that the child will suffer from a particularly severe illness recognized as incurable.”

Instead of some public square accommodation,
we are seeing unlimited abortion.

I’d rather see none.

I’d rather take the obvious victory that saves lives now
And continue to persuade and fight.

But that’s the choice.

Push to hard on one side of the see-saw, and the other rises.

The battle for life is spiritual and happens in the heart.

I think I understand what you said. You might want to re-write it to make your point clearer.

Rats\Leftists) are willing to (and have done this for years!) to advance their agenda incrementally at times almost imperceptibly but advance it they do! They never stop! They are focused on getting power! Conservatives are focused more on arguing with themselves! Conservatives want their agenda now! If they can’t get it now, have the purist of the pure candidate many conservatives whine & pout. Call other conservatives names! Some don’t vote or throw their vote away on 3rd, 4th & 5th party candidates. They then can pat themselves on the head and say how good they are.

We got here incrementally; we will only get out of it incrementally!

Morality and moral values may not be a voting matter.

But, voting and the political system, is how we make laws and policies in our country. We have to deal with that.

Hannity is dumb as rocks. How can Ainsley put up with him? There is no compromise acceptable to pro abortion murderers who want unrestricted abortion post birth. Republicans have to find a way to win despite the abortion vote.
