Republicans will lose on abortion

Plenty of people who don't appear to be wealthy somehow manage to regularly travel to adjoining states for cheaper booze, gas, and cigarettes, don't they?

Plenty of people that claim they don't have the money to feed, house, and/or clothe themselves and their kids, as evidenced by their use of social welfare programs, seems to have enough money to buy booze, cigarettes, and lottery tickets.
 
They always did happen, only they were more dangerous.

Pro Life in effect means Pro Dangerous Abortions. Conservatives should try running on that

Those claiming they're pro choice should run on what they are, pro abortion, and quit lying about what they truly believe.

Indeed. But they are stabbing Bernie in the back precisely because they know that running on what they truly believe will cost them elections.

If you've ever seen the crowds mobbing the liquor stores of New Jersey to escape the high prices in Philly, then you know that poor people are perfectly able to travel when they want to.

The DNC wants Bernie supporters but they don't want Bernie himself. They like his ideas but don't want the label of "Socialist" attached to them.

Guess it depends on whether they getting what they want vs. being expected to do what they should.
 
Indeed. One sounds better than what is really is, but they're the same thing.

Wouldn't someone claiming to be pro-CHOICE support things like school choice or the choice to have opted out of SS and invest privately?
 
The answer is "no," only because society won't let them. We're not quite that evolved yet.

Late stage liberalism is working on that.

Last Tuesday, they voted down motions to advance two bills that nearly any American would support. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), would outlaw elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a point when many unborn children can likely feel pain. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, introduced by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), would mandate a standard of medical care for infants who are born alive after surviving abortions.


Neither measure is radical — the Born-Alive Act doesn’t even touch the subject of abortion. It merely prevents infanticide, while the Pain-Capable Act only matters in states that don’t already have a 20-week limit.

Leftists are near-unanimous in their support of one of the most extreme abortion industries in the world. This radical abortion agenda has been set by groups like Planned Parenthood, which has increasingly shown its true focus: abortion advocacy, not women’s health. The group is a political juggernaut that spent $40 million in 2016 to elect politicians to protect the abortion industry. Under their influence, even “moderate” DEMOCRATS support the status quo instead of standing up for the 88 percent of Americans who support limits on elective abortion.

The failure of the Born-Alive bill is even more shocking. After states like New York passed bills allowing abortion until the moment of birth, and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam endorsed infanticide, it became clear that living, breathing children were in grave danger.

Bizarrely, no current federal law ensures that doctors provide abortion survivors medical care. Obviously, Americans support this common-sense measure. In a national poll conducted last year by Heritage Action for America, the organization I help lead, 76 percent of respondents supported requiring doctors to provide medical care to these survivors — only 10 percent opposed it. Yet all but three Democrats opposed the bill on Tuesday, distancing themselves further from their constituents.
