Being prolife is what keeps the GOP alive, it is also part of the key that we can use to try to get Catholics to switch over to the republican party, regardless of why you vote as an individual.
Romney lost an easy election, and he was the most pro-abortion republican candidate in history. The naturally conservative, pro-life Evangelicals still voted for him by 79%, but he made zero inroads with the millions of votes that had abandoned Obama, Romney was a weak, candidate, with no real convictions to run on, and couldn’t even appeal to moderates, although he himself was moderate, he was lucky that he got your moderate vote, most social liberals are democrats.
Polls show over and over, that abortion motivates the pro-life voters, but not so much the pro-abortion voters.
If you get your wish and drive life out of the party, the GOP will die.
It seems to me that pro-life is already out of the party and that the GOP is already dead.
From what I can see at this point, the GOP is going to try to build a coalition that does not include pro-life, which to me does not seem like a smart move, but pro-life cannot be counted on anyway as shown in the last primary and election.
Divided we fell.
