Seth Leibsohn: Protecting Life

Home

A new Gallup poll reveals that 32 percent of voters will vote exclusively for a candidate who shares their views on abortion. And, pro-choice voters dominate that record-high finding.

There is nothing wrong with being a single-issue voter, but our concern is that this cows pro-life candidates to play down their pro-life views. The truth is, Americans are evenly split on being pro-choice and pro-life; in fact, majorities and pluralities of Americans regularly identify as pro-life.

Only one-third of Americans support abortion in every and all circumstances—which means late term, and based on nothing but caprice. That, however, is the Democratic party position. Ask Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or any Democrat running for office where they would put a limit on abortion, you will get stonewalled—they will not answer.

That is the extreme position. Rather than hide, we should expose this gruesomeness more. Our party and country were founded to protect life. That is something to be proud of and speak more about, not less.
