Midterm election results not necessarily pro-life culture change
by Carder
In 2016, more liberals, more culture-of-death voters will be getting up off their couches and voting for the anti-life, anti-family candidate for President. They will try to convince the one third of of the so-called conservative ranks to join them–and in all likelihood, enough of them will.
We hate to be bursting these Pollyanna bubbles but, instead of conservatives and pro-lifers drinking the kool-aid and believing their own press clippings, they need to do a reality check and see it for what it more likely is: one last chance to make their case for life and family.
They have a little less than two years. The clock is ticking.

So…. what should we do, politics-wise, now that we have fired our antagonists and elected representatives who are somewhat sympathetic to our cause?
At a minimum, we should communicate and encourage them to defund the abortion industry and act to protect life.
The opposite of Pollyanna is doomsaying. Reality is usually in between, and always shifting. We don’t have two years left until anything but two years, the course of our society is not some mathematical inexorability but the sum total of all of our choices.
From someone who has been accused of being Pollyannaish:
It’s not that I wear rose-colored glasses by any means. I know first-hand what humans are capable of. It’s that I make the choice of doing everything possible to stay positive in the midst of storms.
From my experience, I have found that Negative Nancies and Darin Downers are not much help during crisis.
Keep on keeping on Prolifers! Some prizes are worth fighting for.
Ummm, not really.
This last election was a bunch of senators defending their seats from a 2008 election that was good for Democrats. That’s why the GOP did well (in part). In 2016, a bunch of GOPers who won in a mid-term election that was good for the GOP will have to defend their seats in a Presidential election, which will be much harder for them.
Abortion will be about 8th on the list for voters, where it typically is.
