The main thing wrong with the political aspect of the Right to Life movement is that they continue to believe that the Republican party means what they say in their platform. They don't.

"Putting all of our eggs in one basket" is not merely putting it in politics, but putting our eggs in the flawed basket of one party that does not mean it, and is not willing to expend any political capital to get the job done.

I freeped mailed him almost the same message. What will republicans do if abortion is made illegal? They will lose a tremendous voting base including the Reagan Democrats. They'll give us bits and pieces but that's about it.

you have it exactly ackwards ... dont go for a third party. but make your party the dominant one and/or have both parties mouth your positions. look at civil rights for example.

Abortion is threatened mainly because the Democrats refuse to allow prolife judges on the bench.
That is where the battle is joined today.

"Putting all of our eggs in one basket" is not merely putting it in politics, but putting our eggs in the flawed basket of one party that does not mean it, and is not willing to expend any political capital to get the job done.

There is unimaginable evil in the Democratic Party:

  1. Our Secularist Democratic Party (Long, Important Analysis)
  2. Fascism, corruption and my 'Democratic' Party
  3. The Hillary Project - AmeriPAC A brief look at the history of Hillary Clinton will confirm what columnist Camille Paglia said in a recent article in Women's Quarterly: "That woman should not be anywhere near our government . . . That woman is an authoritarian who should be kept out of government. She's a tyrant who thinks she knows what's best for the people. She's Orwellian in her attitude toward the rest of humanity." One should not, and need not, judge her by her husband's actions- she is a corrupt radical in her own right.

The evil in the Republican Party is mitigated and could be reduced. Republicans can't afford to lose any votes to THIRD parties that don't stand a chance. You cannot give the Democrats any more power than they already have and expect to recover.

[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. (Source: John Adams, The Works of John Adams, Second President of the United States, Charles Francis Adams, editor (Boston: Little, Brown, and Co. 1854), Vol. IX, p. 229, October 11, 1798.)

You lack a moral and religious people to elect an Alan Keyes or Howard Phillips. Until you can convert, inform and inspire an amoral, ignorant, apathetic and dependent populace-Bush & like-minded Republicans will be the very best you can expect.

It will take many miracles of Exodus proportions to restore this country.Why Abortion Isn’t Important

Of course they don't. It's clear what Laura Bush and Barbara Bush have stated about this issue, and their husbands are deferring to them.
