Sorry did not reply earlier because went to bed at 1am last night.
First of all if I gave impression to any of you that I am pro-abortion, let me make it clear I am against abortion on demand. There is nothing more vile than killing a baby who is quite capable of living on its own God given body for ANY reason.
Our difference lies in approach to achieving it. For abortion to become illegal, two things need to happen first. First, the overwhelming portion of voters need to be anti-abortion. The country is not there at this time. Second, we need a solid majority in congress, the SCOTUS and also our candidate in the White House. You won't get there by putting the cart before the horse. We have to be just as Machiavellian as the Dems in winning elections first. Any other approach will keep failing. We don't need to follow the definition of insanity (keep repeating the same procedure expecting different results). However I admire all your fervent dedication to this cause regardless of how fruitful the results are.

education is key.
pro-life people need to go INTO the republican clubs locally and put their candidates in.
THEY ALSO NEED TO GET A GRIP.
A viable candidate who supports SOME restrictions and parental notification is far superior to a one trick lunatic who is passing an unrealist litmus test.
EDUCATION IS THE KEYS TO VICTORY.

Changing laws and the system needs to be done at the same time as campaigns to draw more people onto the Right to Life team. The premise of waiting to change laws and the system until there is some sort of consensus is a false one.

“Our difference lies in approach to achieving it.”
I don't understand how you expect to make abortion illegal by NOT making it an issue or by NOT being against it. This election didn't turn on abortion. Plenty of successful politicians don't waver in their principles. The means by which abortion became "legal" was itself unconstitutional and illegal. THAT has as great an implication for this nations doom as the slaughter of helpless innocents. I well understand the value of being politic and canny but there are limits.
