In reply to the discussion: GOP strategists want the party to state that it doesn't favor banning all abortions [View all]kwolf68
(8,452 posts)36. I don't want to hear from you if you are "Pro Life" EVER
...Unless you protest against the death penalty, unless you are 100% pacifist, unless you support a national health care plan that covers every human life, unless you start reading the ENTIRE 2nd amendment and promote sensible regulations so nut jobs can't get guns leading to the death of human LIVES, unless you support environmental regulations that prevent deadly toxins from entering our environment and thus by extension entering human LIVES.
If you can't do that then you are not pro-life, you are a lying sack of shit, you are pro forced-birth. "Pro Life" as a moniker would be akin to the KKK slapping a BLM patch on their white sheets.

That's going to land the GOP in hot water with a lot of the anti-abortion groups...

Easy. Prove it by quickly rescinding all of the forced birth laws enacted in GOP controlled States.

Abortion was a very effective issue for the GOP till they started criminalizing it.
