Between August, 1858 (the first of 7 debates Lincoln had vs. Douglas) and April, 1861 was a 32-month period.
What did Lincoln accomplish in a 32-month window?
#1 Lincoln spoke out vs. Dred Scott Supreme Court decision in 1858 (decision was in '57). The Dred Scott decision treated slaves as chattel (property). The equivalent today would be for a politician to roundly criticize the 1973 decision of Roe vs. Wade.
#2 Lincoln opposed slavery expansion. Kansas was the "hottest" battleline for slavery in the latter part of the 1850s. The equivalent today would be for a politician to take on the hottest abortion expansion battleline today & take a stand for life.
#3 Lincoln went to war for many reasons beyond slavery (such as "union"). But that doesn't mean that slavery wasn't a part of the whole thing. It was.
IOW, if we expand those 32 months to 80 months, we find Lincoln saying:
Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-men’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether.”
That would be tantamount to an American president willing to see the deaths of more Americans than all the other wars put together, and then consider it "just" until all the wealth piled by the abortion industry's 40 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the suction aspirator, shall be paid by another drawn by the sword...
Could you imagine any Republican politician doing ALL of the above in an 80-month period???
(And then to have someone come along and point how "pro-abortion" they were????)
