Overturning Roe v. Wade is politically unpopular. I've never seen a survey that didn't show 62-65 percent support for the "rights" secured by that court decision.
You cannot force a emotionally-laden issue like overturning Roe v. Wade, which has 32% popular support, through a 51% governing majority. It's that simple. The GOP would go back to being a minority party, and every conservative initiative across the spectrum would be thwarted.
This is just typical bully-boy overreaching by a politically unsuccessful element within the GOP who see the world through a straw. We need to change hearts and minds before we can realistically change the law. Incrementally.
Yes, I agree completely.
Fox News Opinion Dynamics Poll; PRO-LIFE 47% - PRO-CHOICE 44%" (April, 2004)
Generally speaking, people who consider themselves "Pro Life" don't support the "rights" secured by Roe v. Wade.
The typical liberal Republican strawman.
Liberal Republicans never change hearts and minds. The reality is that they teach others their compromising ways that only serve to continue the practice of abortion.
