True
But Lincoln used strategy.
Lincoln took steps towards his goal.
Lincoln often worked with those who did not share his views, but did not care as much about the issue.

The radical prolifers want a “Human Life Amendment” making all abortion illegal, nationwide.

Anything less than that, they pretty much consider to be a compromise. Yes, I would support the final goal that the radicals have, but it is not possible to do this all at once.

There is nothing at all wrong or immoral about doing the best we can, today, and coming back tomorrow to fight for more.

NO, Lincoln followed the LAW. Lincoln COULD NOT apply the Emancipation Proclamation to states that were not in rebellion.

Strange that you would describe the belief that abortion should be abolished as "radical".

I suppose you prefer a more "moderate" approach. Are you a proponent of laws that say, "You must do X, Y and Z, and then you can go ahead and kill the baby"?

There is nothing at all wrong or immoral about doing the best we can, today, and coming back tomorrow to fight for more.

And for Brownback, "the best he can, today" IS NOT supporting a radical abortionist to be Secretary of HHS. If Sebelius was nominated for a position where she could not affect abortion policy (say Secretary of the Interior) it would be different, but the FACT is that Sebelius will now be in a position to spread her militant abortionism nationwide.
