In the final analysis only the mother can prevent an abortion, not the Constitution nor the politician. If the same effort was made to convince the mother not to have an abortion as is spent to make abortion a 4-year cicada that peaks every Presidential election, it would be great. Preventing abortion should not be a political issue.

But the Secular Left made it such in 1973. The rabid secularists must be fought on every front, political too.

 Do you really want your policy on abortion extended to other issues?

 

  1. In the final analysis only the murderer can prevent murder, not the Constitution nor the politician

  2. In the final analysis only the child molester can prevent molestation, not the Constitution nor the politician

  3. In the final analysis only the arsonist can prevent arson, not the Constitution nor the politician

  4. Anti-terrorism should not be a political issue

 

On the other hand, you reinforce a proven point made centuries ago: “[W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”[i]
