Get Real GOP

I see the Republicans queuing up to shoot themselves in the foot over the abortion issue….again. How much more evidence do you need than the completely batty Gretchen Whitmer retaining her place in the governor’s mansion over a thoroughly qualified opponent who took a hard line on abortion access? Only abortion seems to be more polarizing than supporting Donald Trump, and a combination of the two is the political kiss of death. Just ask Kari Lake, who lost her race in Arizona to an incumbent who not only didn’t campaign, but seems to make Whitmer appear to be a rocket scientist by comparison. But she did have the progressive seal of approval for preaching her party’s anytime, anywhere policy. Just give it up. Apparently, democrats and a large percentage of independents are all about forgetting their irresponsible behavior by eliminating the inconvenient result of biology. So let them. Sure, maybe compromise by suggesting we allow unfettered access to abortion in the first trimester, but that, too, will turn out to be a non-starter. Yes, abortion is immoral, unethical, and uncivilized. So is looting, rioting, and burning our cities, but that doesn’t seem to phase them either. Centuries from now, mankind will look back at the carnage and wonder what we were thinking. But for now, conservatives have to take a page out of the Democrat playbook and recognize that power is the ultimate goal, and to attain it; there will have to be collateral damage. At its most cynical, rationalize it by thinking that conservatives will always be guided by their own moral and ethical code and protect the sanctity of life, whereas progressive democrats will continue to kill their offspring, future Democrat voters. Let that be their legacy.
