If so, it is just further evidence of how the moral majority was silenced and pacified by rhetoric for 35 years.
Personally, I'm not sure which is worse...someone who believes that abortion is murder and does not do everything in their power to stop it, or someone who genuinely does not believe that abortion is murder in the scientific, religious, and moral sense and therefore doesn't do anything about it.
Either abortion is murder or it isn't. In my opinion if abortion is murder, the conservatives in our country should have approached it with the same passion and demand for action on every level as if a million ten-year-olds were being executed every year. I reject the notion that something could not have been done in 35 years if the majority of Americans had flexed their muscles and demanded it. Instead the GOP found a happy place where they could champion it but not have to do much about it.
It is crazy then for them to approach my generation of pro-life Americans with the same tired talking point. Unless I know exactly what you are pledging to do about abortion, don't try to use it as a religious lever to guarantee my vote. I am looking for the specific plan of action that I can hold you to and judge you by after your term.

What DOES matter in this election is the what Supreme Court nominees that the elected President will recommend to the Senate to be put on the bench. A pro-life nominee could reverse Roe v. Wade.
Even at that, we have a Democratic controlled Senate, so they will not vote for a pro-life candidate without a MAJOR fight!
If the President is pro-choice, a pro-choice nominee will DEFINITELY be appointed!
