You do realize that only 25 percent of Americans support the present status quo of no restrictions on abortion - the position of the democrat party?
Why shouldn’t the GOP be the party of the 75 percent of Americans who do support abortion restrictions?
I didn’t say the GOP should be pro-abortion. Only that it needs to moderate its positionthe 2012 platform said abortion should be illegal, no exceptions. Clearly that’s not a winning argument to 80% of Americans according to this poll; however, it is also true that 75% of Americans don’t support unrestricted abortion-on-demand either. So, like I said, carve out a position on the issue that’ll be reasonable to as many Americans as possible.
