Beginning at 38:33 Governor DeSantis details his assessment of the abortion issue and has no kind words for national pro-life groups' leadership and engagement in the states on the issue. He cites 17 of 21 lost state referenda. Hard to hear but necessary.

Pro-life issues were not so much downplayed in the mid-terms as missing in action. The process has been going on for some time now and the way out, more arduous than ever, requires that we understand how we came to this pass. It's not a pretty picture. washingtonstand.com/article/…

Some are suggesting pro-lifers labor overtime not to offend 47 lest he decide to sign into law constitutional protection for abortion on demand, which D's pledge to advance. Well, no gratuitous insults, yes. Not our way. But if the GOP doesn't veto, then the party's truly over.

Clinton, Bush, and Obama all acknowledged the voters rejecting them in midterms. Trump, instead, held a ballroom press conference and is now on social media blaming the voters.

He would be a fine leader but this is neither the post nor the time for him.
Surely there is someone else.

A week ahead of the GOP Platform meeting in Milwaukee in 2024 a column in Townhall warned what would happen if the GOP, a party founded on protecting the full humanity of the slave and the nature of marriage, abandoned the right to life. So it is now. townhall.com/columnists/chuc…

DeSantis has narrowly escaped the Trump debris field, and he must stay clear of it. It remains radioactive and lethal to character and reason in those who enter it.
DeSantis must refuse. His standing in ’28 depends on his steering clear of Trump.

That Narcissus spent his time on election eve at a reflecting pool is, thinking about it, not at all surprising.

A tie: Ronald Reagan, Shirley Temple, and Ernest Borgnine.

We can have soma or heavy sodium (see The Thanatos Syndrome) at the genetic level. A docile people by design - what could go wrong?

An outstanding choice! Congrats, Eric!
WOW! A great hire for the pro-life movement and another huge win for my friends at @sbaprolife! Erik Baptist is an absolute hero. He brings brains, talent, and a passion for defending unborn children and their mothers. Congrats, Erik and SBA!

Agree at most levels, but taking two-plus years to review whether women should be assured of medical exams prior to getting abortion drugs is abject surrender not prudent incrementalism. The current Administration has sown mistrust and defeatism even for prudence.
We pro-lifers need to build public sentiment for our cause and pursue a policy of prudent incrementalism. We need to make it attractive for politicians to campaign on our issues. Until we do, we shouldn't be surprised when politicians pursue a different path to victory.

I am glad the ninth circuit got it right but it’s disturbing when the president the vice president and the GOP platform of 2024 all misstate what the Dobbs ruling said about states and Congress. So yes, I trust less.

I'm a pro-life voter, and this doesn't bother me much. Voting GOP in natl elections got judges that overturned Roe. Now it's a state issue. In Michigan, only 37% are pro-life. I wish Rogers were consistently pro-life, but now, it's less impt in a Senatorial campaign.
Democrats won’t believe you and pro-life Republicans will abandon you. Who is this strategy for?

The @FDA 2021 analysis of abortion drug safety showed differential treatment of external stakeholder input, reflecting possible bias towards pro-abortion groups. Federal drug safety decisions should be based on comprehensive, impartial research. More: lozierinstitute.org/peer-rev… #mifepristone #abortiondrugs #FDA
