After a stinging election night defeat, President George W. Bushs former White House secretary still says that the Republican Party will never support LGBT rights and reproductive rights for women. The big issue that Republicans are going to have to wrestle with is the Hispanic issue, Ari Fleischer explained after President Barack Obamas defeat of GOP hopeful Mitt Romney made it clear that the country was more liberal than he had expected.
But the Republican Party used to be against abortion, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin noted. In the past year, they have become identified with opposition to contraception. That is, you know, moving backwards at a pace that is astonishing and politically disastrous.
