Give it a rest. Your passion for defending "the cause" is blinding you to the fact that you are alienating people that otherwise agree with you in principle.

We all know where you are coming from, but you certainly don't know where Mr. Muth was coming from as you weren't there at the conference to catch the full context of his comments (although several conference attendees have tried to explain Murth's intent.)

The key point of why Mr. Muth brought up the abortion issue is that it is a devisive issue that needlessly divides people that otherwise would work together politically. And having your candidate get at least 1 more vote than his opponent is how we control policy and get conservative judges appointed.

Being "dead right" (losing the election but keeping moral purity) is not a goal to aspire to. Being in a political winning position to effect your desired change in policy is.

Abortion is a GOP policy. You've already won.
