Because some of us are unwilling to compromise with the taking of an innocent human life. If you are willing to compromise, we can start by removing the right to life from our founding documents. Because, that is what you are compromising.Quote:

Because of ongoing losses to membership roles, Republicans are having to compromise with their ilk in order to compete against growing Democrat dominance.Quote:

Further, I think it is more atrocious to abort a fetus/infant in say late third trimester than it is in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Part of my motivation to compromise is to protect a fetus with a developed brain & capability of feeling emotions & pain. More people can agree aborting those developed infants/fetuses (excluding fringe cases where it’s medically necessary or the infant is certain to die). So I say let’s start there and focus more on what we can agree on vs making it an absolute all or nothing.
It kinda cracks me up when leftists believe in their heart of hearts the future belongs to them & traditional conservative social values are dying off. You mean this ideology that encourages abortions, is the party of lgbtq+, are weak & found unattractive by the opposite sex for mating (Seran), and people who can’t talk to each other in real life for fear of being offensive/offended is the certain future for our country? Meanwhile I have 6 kids who I love, teach, and mentor…Quote:

Keep compromising with them and they get everything they want. They certainly will NEVER compromise with you.Quote:

What's wrong with leftists effectively aborting themselves though? Sounds to me like a plague that will eventually cure itself.Quote:

Your politicians keep trying to push it, or something damn near close to being able to get an abortion up to and including the time of birth.Quote:

Literally the dumbest argument of them all... Seran illustrated this point to perfection.Quote:
