No, I never said that 60 million "went to the polls because of pro-life issues." I know that I voted pro-life (and that I campaigned for the President on that point), and believe that a large number, if not a majority, of those 60 million are prolife.
If a blatant error such as the one Specter made last week is ignored, and because of that error, we get more of the same (i.e., "Scottish law defence," "Roe is the law of the land") when he can effect the outcome, our Party is not using its power effectively. Our elected representatives cannot expect to gain or maintain support from the voters if they support unwise politicians who can't be quiet for a couple of weeks.
I'm sure that your vote would not be affected if the Republican Party managed to overcome Roe, would it?
If Roe was gutted by the GOP, Howlin would vote Green.
If the USSC strikes down Roe, which I doubt will ever happen, the states will simply pick up their responsibilities.
Abortion is never going to be outlawed in this country again, no matter how much we might want it to be.
