In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing or all the other.
In the rules of negotiation, you never want just one point. If negotiation comes to one point (like the price of the car) , then you have a winner and a loser. Our issues are too squishy yet.
What will be the one issue that requires us to pick a side?
gun rights?
immigration?
homos?
I don’t know.
But it should be abortion. The God-given, unalienable right to live is the supreme right, and the protection of that supreme right is the very raison d’etre of all decent, legitimate, just human government.
