It’s Time For a New Strategy To End Abortion Starting With President Bush
My latest from Townhall.com
One favorite and generally accepted definition of insanity is to do something the same way over and over again expecting different results. And so it has been with the pro-life movement.
For the past 30-years the basic strategy to end abortion has been to elect “pro-life” Republicans who, we are frequently told, will put more “pro-life” judges on the courts culminating in the ultimate “overturning” of Roe v Wade– the 1973 Supreme Court decision which many have speciously claimed “legalized abortion in all fifty states.”
Subsequently, Republicans have been responsible for appointing 60% of the federal judiciary including 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices who handed down Roe and her progeny in the first place, and not one of those justices ever argued that the right to life is an unalienable right which neither the federal nor state government may violate.
