10. What on earth makes a political party think...

... that an appropriate agenda item is banning a constitutionally guaranteed right? I know, I know, this Supreme Court would love to overturn Roe v. Wade, but, for the time being, it's black letter law, until such time as the court overturns it. Since when do political parties name as their agenda items that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of another branch of government? That would be like the executive branch proposing to pass legislation when they have zero authority to do so. Or do they imagine that they can get a constitutional amendment passed banning abortion? Good luck with that. So, really, they're just blowing smoke out of their asses as usual, throwing some red meat to the slavering base, right?
