An excellent article.
I would point out that there are many ways to reduce the number of abortions without passing any laws. Even when abortion on demand is legal, we can offer support and counseling to pregnant women. Every issue has its “awareness” ribbons. How about one for pro-life? How about funding a charity like Planned Parenthood, except instead of providing abortions, this charity would provide counseling and adoption services and whatever other support a pregnant woman would need.
Those on the left are always clever and get support outside of the law. We should do the same. I’m not talking about violence. I’m talking about changing public opinion. If we can’t fight this battle in the voting booth or the legal system (and possibly we shouldn’t), we should fight it in the court of public opinion.
Even if abortion were illegal, there would still be illegal abortions performed or women would travel to countries where it’s legal. So there is still a need to change hearts and minds.
My point in this only to point out that Akin’s comments were not unsupported.
We can't cut and run on every conservative (and Akin is solid conservative) that gives the left a opportunity to lie.
The last national politician to advance conservatism was Newt, and the GOP dumped him for Denny Hasert. Then they rolled on Tom Delay. It's a patern.
I heard a prolifer once say that the ultimate victory would be to have an abortion clinic on every corner and they’d be empty.
BTW, love your tagline. LOL.
