In a cultural war between pro life and abortionists, numbers on each side do count in elections, you got to admit my argument does have some merit. If you ever watch the movie The Godfather, Don Corleone had to deal with the subject of drugs. He knew it was lucrative but it also can affect his Italian community. He was forced to relent, as long as his subordinates kept it out of the Italian neighborhoods. Like the strategic Don said, sell it to the others, let them lose their souls. Abortion is abhorrent, but if your enemies embrace it let them kill off their young while we raise ours. Never stop your enemies from doing stupid things.

So abortion is fine as long as we keep it out of our neighborhoods.

Hoo boy.

Let's see, in the past 41 years, the Republicans and Democrats have each controlled the White House for about the same amount of time with a slight edge to the GOP and the Democrats have controlled Congress and the Senate for a considerably longer time than the GOP.

And during this time, 57 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICAN BABIES have been slaughtered.

So no, your "numbers matter" argument fails.

If you ever watch the movie The Godfather, Don Corleone had to deal with the subject of drugs. He knew it was lucrative but it also can affect his Italian community. He was forced to relent, as long as his subordinates kept it out of the Italian neighborhoods. Like the strategic Don said, sell it to the others, let them lose their souls.

You seem to overlook the fact that the Godfather was intrinsically evil to begin with (you might recall that in the same scene Blacks are dismissed as "animals").

Again, your we can do it because others have done it approach is immoral.

Abortion is abhorrent, but if your enemies embrace it let them kill off their young while we raise ours.

Abortion is either abhorrent to you or you embrace it -- there can be no middle ground! All you are doing here is parroting the "I'm personally opposed, but..." mantra espoused by the left.

Are you serious? Is this the hill you’re going to die on? If so, post your opus and begone.

Only a moral relativist would admit your argument has merit. Among those of us who consider abortion murder your point is contemptuous. Get it?

Are peoples fate determined by their genetics?

I know more than a few children of hard core leftists that are more conservative than most, and the meme of conservative people going wild and abandoning the faith is based on a lot of truth.

Kill the young of liberal democrat voters because they are statistically more likely to become democrat voters themselves?

That is your “pro-life” mind at work?
