#37 — I agree that as long as a sizable minority disagrees, imposing a ban is probably going to create more problems than it solves.
Which is why this subject doesn’t belong in the tent. There will **never** be agreement. Politics is about consensus, not finding interesting new ways to disenfranchise those who disagree.
Except that there is agreement–overwhelming agreement–that partial birth abortion should be unlawful. And there is overwhelming agreement about parental consent for minors having abortions. So why should Republicans take no position on those laws?
We have some areas where there is widespread agreement that the government can and should restrict abortion–and where there are few voters that would ever vote Republican who would be turned away by it. Why should we work on agreement with the 22% that believes in abortion on demand?
You have also made it clear that you are one of those “anti-choice” voters. Why are you therefore arguing for abortion on demand as a Republican Party position?
