Steve, thanks for publishing this article. It’s good to periodically see what the other side has to say and their reasoning, as immoral as we may conclude it is.

Why Steve thinks he has to foist a retired blow hard on the readers with his tired old tropes is why I won’t subscribe to this silliness.

The pro-death Democrats and their Media PACs play the Alinsky semantics game very well. So long as it has value in a campaign, progressively-Marxist Dems and their Media PACs will continue to play that game with abortion. The problem is that Pro-Life Republicans do not know how to effectively counter that game.

Republicans should applaud these state referendums because that’s what the R-v-W overturn was all about. They should also embrace the reality that the immovable extremes are not the answer. The progressively-Marxist Dems will hurt themselves with their extreme positions on abortion… if the Republicans will just let them.

Abortion is a horrible ugly reality that isn’t going away. Republicans should support states rights and assume a position that with respect to abortion, there must be limits and there must be exceptions… and stop playing into the progressively-Marxist Dems’ hands.

You apparently view abortion as a political football, to be used to as leverage to appease a voting block.

Then there’s the rest of us, that view abortion as murder. How do you negotiate with a murder? Whether it’s the guy that shoots a cashier over the money in the cash register, the kid that wants your car, the jealous ex-boyfriend that can’t move on, the woman that decides she’s just not ready to be a mother, or the doctor that’s willing to kill as part of his daily routine?

What happens when abortion is redefined? There are movements out there now to allow a baby to die a “natural” death when it’s born as a result of a botched abortion. With it, all discussions of viability, first breath, etc. have been rendered moot. Let’s move the line further out. How about “before leaving the hospital”? “first spoken word”? “enrollment in school”? “High school graduation”? “Living with parents”?

There used to be a law, repealed several decades back, that allowed for the legal killing of a child if it occurred due to an act of discipline by the parent. So the accidental death of a child to to discipline is not illegal, but the left intends to win elections because the deliberate killing of them for “convenience” is being challenged? It’s a strange world that you live in, Bill…
