"You are falling for the MSM abortion trap. Hook line and sinker."

If you think that abortion is simply a "trap" set by the MSM, then I think you need to re-evaluate your ideals. Abortion is an incredibly important issue that literally affects the lives of millions. If we can't fight for it because the MSM might use that fight against us, then all hope is lost that sanity might return to the Judiciary.

However, please re-read the text of my letter. I only mention abortion in terms of the fight over partial birth abortion. Don't get me wrong, I think abortion-on-demand is evil and should be abolished, but abortion is only one of the issues that I think is important.

In addition to abortion issues, the SCOTUS over the next decade could decide cases that affect the definition of marriage, the place of religion in the public square, free speech rights of conservative and religious groups, the right to freely bear arms, the right of free association of various groups such as the Boy Scouts and Campus Religious Groups, etc. It is quite conceivable that they could even address free speech rights involving conservatives in Talk Radio and other media (including the internet). Activist judges who rise to the SCOTUS as staunch defenders of Roe v. Wade, would be much more likely to legislate from the bench on such issues, and their decisions would probably not be too popular here or in simliar forums. Liberal judges aren't simply interested in maintaining the status quo when it comes to abortion. They are also interested in socially re-engineering our entire society.

So in answer to your charge, no! You are the one falling for the MSM abortion trap. If we don't fight we'll never win.

Reread what I said. I did not say abortion was anything. I just said the MSM is leading you into a trap on abortion that they have set for you. The intent is to sow as much dissension as soon as possible to foster divides in the Rs and pit one against the other.

I am not taking issue with what you are saying, in your letter or otherwise. I am not arguing religion or anything but winning. It's all about winning.

We should have learned by now the MSM will do what they have to, including lying, to defeat conservatives.

I abhor abortion as much as the anyone. I just am tired of arguing and am interested in winning.
