On the legal front:
1. The proposal claims that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and that an arrogant federal judiciary has contributed to the current turmoil over abortion by denying American citizens their democratic right to debate and decide this matter in their legislatures. Thus the Republican Party should vigorously support efforts to permit the people, once again, to deliberate democratically on an issue that the overwhelming majority of us believe to be of the gravest moral and political consequence. Returning the issue to the people seems to us a pre-condition to any long-term legal or constitutional remedy for the practice of abortion on demand.
