Abortion is the key issue in every national election in this day in which we live.
As it should be. The uncomparably hard-hearted killing off of an entire generation of Americans is the central moral question of our day.
The protection of innocent human life is the center pole of the Republican 'big tent'. Try to kick it out if you will, but the tent will forever lie flat on the ground if you succeed, useless.
You may need for that to be true, but it's not.
Thankfully the majority of people in this country are smart enough to know such an opinion is asinine. If every person who is pro-life followed your way of thinking, we'd now have President Kerry and a Congress overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats. Then we could look forward to a Supreme Court controlled by hardcore liberals with maybe Thomas and Scalia the only conservatives left.
