On November 2, 2004, the American electorate voted into office a Republican President, Republican House, Republican Senate and a majority of Republican Governors. The Supreme Court is made up of a super-majority of Republican appointees. We have, in America, undeniable Republican Party Rule. If the Republican Party is pro-life, now is the best and only time to effectuate any real pro-life legislation.

Abortion Clinic Regulations, Cloning, Crimes Against the Unborn Child Act, Human Embryo Research, Heath Care Rights of Conscience Act, Parental Involvement for Minors Seeking Abortion, Physician-Assisted Suicide and Informed Consent Legislation

The GOP adheres to the INCREMENTALISM that the pro-life lobbyists advocate. Incrementalism insures that the pro-life cottage industry will be around for another 32 years, and it allows a politician to be labeled pro-life for promoting pro-life license plates. They want to milk mass murder for all it is financially and politically worth.

Sanctity of Life Act of 2005 http://www.theamericanview.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2462&postcount=2 could be classified as incremental, since it doesn’t end abortion in every state all in one act. It does allow those 30 states that apparently want to end/restrict abortion to do so without federal court objection.

Had “Republicans Offer the Unborn 32 More Years of Roe v. Wade” been written a decade ago, it would have been just as accurate. On 5/12/1995 Robert K. Dornan (Ca) introduced H.R.1624, “To modify the jurisdiction of the Federal courts with respect to abortion.” The bill had one sponsor, and zero cosponsors. The Sanctity of Life Act of 2005 has 3 sponsors, and 5 cosponsors. If pro-life activists could increase that rate to one sponsor/cosponsor per year…well, why bother with the exact math, when it is intuitively obvious it will take over two centuries for it to pass the U.S. House.

So, I am force to agree with:

If not, and frankly my hopes are not very high, or if they are not even willing to raise Interposition as a remedy against a Federal usurpation of power, it is time to conclude that neither the Republican Party, nor the pro-life lobbyists, are committed to ending legal abortion in America.

Maybe a little letter with a couple of enclosures might shed some light.

Dearest Pastor,

I know that your have always preached against abortion, but you have occasionally alluded to, or implied that those in the GOP are working to end licensed abortion. Sadly, I once thought the same thing too.

I am enclosing two articles that are must reading correctives of this erroneous assumption. “Republicans Offer the Unborn 32 More Years of Roe v. Wade” and “Standing Between the Butcher and the Baby” don’t take very long to read, but may take a couple of reads before the realization sets in that we have been duped by the GOP.

If pastors began to receive communication to that effect, maybe things might be a little different a decade or so from now.
