Republicans controlled the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court in 2002 and they did absolutely nothing about abortion except act embarrassed whenever abortion got mentioned. They acted embarrassed of their own supporters for bringing abortion up.
Very true. That reality did not really hit me until all the pounding upon a private citizen Trump for stating the party obvious. No politician will ever convince me the 'original intent' of our Constitution provided a 'right' to kill the unborn. But I will be darn IF I am going to have a double standard, saying one thing and doing the opposite, like elected Republicans have been doing for decades.
