Wishy-washy pro-life Republicans “on the losing side of history”
Over the past years we social conservatives have heard time and again about abortion being a loser at the polls. Just a few weeks ago a caucus of Quisling women Republicans sold out babies who will be killed by late term abortion. They did this by posturing as some kind of latter-day Machiavellis whose intimate knowledge of the uterus would save the GOP from folly. In reality, they found it was easy to talk pro-life when there was no danger of actually being called upon to vote on the issue. Their thinking and the thinking of most establishment Republicans is sadly out of step with the rest of the nation….
More restrictions on abortion is a huge winner in the GOP. Any GOP politician who is breathes the pro-abort Republican mantra of “I personally oppose abortion but if you want to kill your kid, have at it” should recognize that they are on the losing side of history….
The abortion industry had been knocked back on its heels and the nation is on a trajectory to opposing abortion. The insane and bloody practice may hang on in the dark corners of society but it is being rejected everywhere.
Any politician who tells you that they don’t want to run on abortion because it is divisive is lying to you. They don’t want to run on abortion because they are pro-aborts.

I think the GOP may be a little more across the real voting impacts than streiff is.
“Any politician who tells you that they don’t want to run on abortion because it is divisive is lying to you. They don’t want to run on abortion because they are pro-aborts.”
Yup.
And yet again — A mainstream political commentary blog is boldly spreading a message that months ago could only be found on dedicated pro-life blogs.
======================================
The GOP may get it, or they may not. They may end up on the ash heap of history with the Whigs, the pro-slavery Democrats, and the conservative Southern Democrats — split apart as they tried to straddle both sides of history.
For that matter, America may end up in the same ash pile with the empires of Rome and Carthage and Persia. The decadent cultures of death (and the political parties that encourage them) eventually die out, replaced by cultures of life.
It takes a while. A Culture of Death appears to thrive for a while, as it robs the future to finance its lavish consumption. But eventually, it kills its host. The Culture of Death is a parasite — It needs thriving families to sustain its future, even as it seeks to steal our children and kill its own with contraception and abortion.
Short answer: Our political leaders need to see that abortion is as detrimental to our nation’s survival as slavery was.
The “right to own Negro slaves” was written into our Constitution, and the Supreme Court found a Constitutional “mother’s right to kill her pre-born child” hiding under a cabbage leaf.
If America survives, our history will celebrate the fact that we purged those shameful and unjust denials of human dignity from our culture.
“Any politician who tells you that they don’t want to run on abortion because it is divisive is lying to you. They don’t want to run on abortion because they are pro-aborts.” – nah, they’re not particularly pro-choice. Nor is it because the issue may be ‘divisive’. It’s because it would be suicidal. They know full well that much more in the way of restricting womens autonomy and rights will generate a significant backlash. The polls don’t really deliver the result anti-choicers claim. The GOP know this.
A Culture of Death appears to thrive for a while, as it robs the future to finance its lavish consumption. But eventually, it kills its host – so when can we start saying our goodbyes to the likes of Rick Perry?
Our political leaders need to see that abortion is as detrimental to our nation’s survival as slavery was. – nooo, restricting abortion access is analogous of slavery.
I’m starting to think this is just another way GOPers can hammer on women – this time from their own party.
Let me phrase it this way:
– The GOP carves out a law that allows 98-99% of abortions to stand, but outlaws 1 or 2%. A politician has an issue with the wording that would effect a massively small percentage of the 1 or 2%. After compromising and saying that in the bill, they’re okay with 98-99% of abortions, THIS instance is where they get tough and draw the line!
Crazy. Crazy.
