I am going to stick to the “don’t kill babies” side of the argument no matter how unpopular I’m told it is.

Face it. America has embraced neo pagan decadence. A majority of the people are not horrified by the widespread killing of pre born human life and embrace all sorts of depravity. Decent, rational, pro life people must come to understand that they are the minority. The warped values of the majority in a democracy warp a culture and ultimately cause a civilization to perish

Exactly right. Not just "no" but HELL EFF'N NO!

We pro-life conservatives are being asked to accept some number of abortions as "ok" to win elections?

NO!

Wrong is wrong, and Abortion is MURDER. It is the murder of the most innocent of life at its most vulnerable stage!

NO! I will NOT accept that. PERIOD. The Almighty God I love would NEVER accept that either!

I figure they cheated on the abortion issue on purpose to cause just what is happening. I am sticking with it too because they cheat to get what they want.

It worked.

If child murdering is to be legalized; do it without forcing taxpayers to fund it.

If it's a "Right to Choose" (aka; the forced terminology to make it sound woman-friendly), how about choosing with your own money? Oh.....that's right, those Baby Daddies can't use their EBT's and Food Stamps to pay for it? DNA testing required for ALL abortions, and then identify the fathers........born alive; same thing....DNA identify the fathers, and force them to pay child support. STOP the welfare/subsidies for "single mothers", who can't take responsibility for their actions.

I don’t but I think abortion has been and will always be a polarizing issue. Unfortunatley it is many times framed by the the small minorities at either side ie No abortions ever or the abortion on demand whenever groups. Clearly the vast majority of Americans are somewhere in between. Unfortuneatley we have also ceded many of the decisions regarding abortion policy to the people probably the least skilled in making the decisions based on what is moral and right ie politicians.

An idea I have had for sometime is this. Each state has Voter referendum.

IN the primary election there would be 5 choices not necessarily in this order.
1. No abortion for any reason.
2. Abortion for rape, incest, life of the mother
3. Abortion up to completion of 1st trimester plus # 2
above.
4. Abortion up to the completion of 2nd trimester plus
# 2 above.
5. Abortion on demand until birth of the child.

Then in the General election there would be a runoff between the top two choices from the primary. Thaqt would then be the law for that state. MIght not please everyone but at least the majority of people in the middle would have a significant say in abortion policy for that state.

What conspiracy?? Alexis McGill Johnson admitted Sanger and PP were racist for years...Even after Sanger died,PP was still pushing her racist agenda....Pro-aborts will say, well PP isn’t racist anymore...Fine,tell us the day, month or century they stopped....Until that point blacks and minority women can sue for racism.....Did any black dem in congress tell the truth or were they in bed with Planned Parenthood????

Pro-lifers need to be the way pro-aborts are when talking to people..We have the truth on our side....

scapped

Should that be scrapped or perhaps scalped? Not sure exactly what you are saying here, to be honest.

Regardless, it should have always been a state issue. The Supreme Court ruling was based totally upon a lie presented to it to begin with.

Legal abortions do not offer women a safe option either. Plenty of women are butchered in so-called safe sanctioned abortion clinics, as they did in the illegal ones that preceded them.

Making people who do not believe in the practice of abortion is also a travesty.

As with all other conservative causes, the conservatives appear to be too damned stupid to talk to people about limitations.

Any pro-life law that says no abortion under any circumstances is gonna lose, and rightly so. Any conservative supporting this also deserves to lose.

Any such law must allow abortion in 1st trimester for rape, incest, fatal risk to Mom, etc. Lacking that, it deserves to lose and drag down everyone endorsing it.

Yah don’t have to say abortion is OK, just that a compromise along these lines is liveable. Anything less than this is, according to any commie trash with a microphone, tantamount to pushing some sort of theocracy. You will lose and condemn everyone else in this country to commie trash being in charge forever.

You are trading the lives of strangers with the slavery of your grandchildren.

“The souther states were going to secede whether it was John Brown or Abe Lincoln on top of the ticket.”

And this is the key. There are certain issues on which no political compromise is conceivable. Those issues must be settled decisively with one side winning, and one side losing, irrevocably. Slavery was one such issue, and abortion is another.

To compromise for some temporary political advantage is not a “win”, because the issue will still need to be decisively settled, one way or another.

Quite frankly, there is only One opinion that matters.

Almighty God.

What does He say? “You shall not murder.”

No. Other. Opinion. Matters.

It matters not what the political ramifications of it may be. It doesn’t matter if we lose elections over this. He expects His people to take a stand and if they take the correct stand, going along with His commands, that’s all you need to do.

He will take care of the rest...even if it’s not exactly the outcome you wanted.

abortion to save the life of the mother is a necessity by most moral teachings (including Roman Catholic and Jewish so far as I know).

and there are a couple additional tough situations ...

so I am against maybe 98 percent of abortions...but the law has to allow for the exceptional serious situation imho

Accepting the lie of "pro-choice" makes you complicit in mass murder. If you cannot stand up for the life of a child, you're a SERIAL KILLER and should join up with the worthless POS jackass party.
