Still waiting for the Journal to run a headline about a pro-choice group being “anti-life”.
The pro-life movement has a lot of problems. The top 4 parties want nothing to do with them.
Nowhere does the Constitution delegate regulating abortion to the feds.
Abortion is, therefore, a state, not federal, issue.
It is not the administration’s policy that made abortion a matter for the states to decide, but the Constitution, affirmed by the Supreme Court. How stupid can you be? To outlaw abortion nationally would require a Constitutional amendment, just as making it nationally legal would.
The movement destroyed its credibility when it immediately turned around and tried to make it a federal matter.
Too many of these groups were exposed as ineffective clowns when they had no ground game in place to fight this battle at the state level after Roe was overturned.
I can see that to be the case for some, especially those in the abolitionist fringe. To them, no victory is ever enough. Anyone not holding their exact position is a heretic.
I passed an abolitionist on a streetcorner once and told him I agreed with his Pro-Life cause. He yelled at me for continuing to walk on and not stop, quit my job and join him.
I’m an ardent pro-lifer, but the natl pro-life movement are lost. They are still planning the march in DC this January. This is stupidity in a box.
The pro-life leaders are stuck in the 90s.
These leaders don’t understand that life issues is where we were in 1973 b4 RvW.
This is what those of us in our 70s have been working towards - get it back to the States where we have the power to make changes.
Pro-life leaders have squandered a year!!!
That’s thousands of young lives lost.
Pro-life leaders need to get off their dimes and start State organizing.
“a grassroots effort is needed to effectuate change at the state level.”
We don’t have a grassroots effort, or perhaps better stated, the grassroots explicitly wants to sit down and shut up.
The last time we had a large and visible grassroots engagement was the highly successful Tea Party era and prior to that,
we had massive grassroots engagement during the fight and ultimate defeat of the ERA amendment.
When we conservatives stand up, we win. This statement is just highly unpopular right now. I couldn’t begin to describe nor understand why, it just is. That is the fact. It does not go away. When we conservatives stand up, we win.
I am incapable of fathoming what people are waiting for, or why they are waiting to begin with.
No, Marjorie. President Trump is not the problem. He has been the most pro-life president in history...
~~ The most full of (bleep) statement I heard in a long time.
