Something unintentionally and perversely healthy has happened in American politics. There is a newfound freedom, and it was overdue. If you are a fellow one-issue voter, realize: You are not bound to the Republican Party.
During the last presidential election, the Republican Party’s leadership decided that it would no longer call for an end to abortion as part of its platform, which is a betrayal of decades’ worth of investment that pro-life voters have put into the GOP. Every summer, for decades, the substance of the party’s platform had been a contentious fight to make sure that GOP candidates were running on an agenda dedicated to providing legal protection to unborn lives. But, unless you want to be known as a cheap date, it must be acknowledged that for Republicans the issue of abortion has become a matter only of votes. That wasn’t always the case.
