Republicans Can Reset the Abortion Debate
Ryan T. Anderson The Wall Street Journal
What do you do when your movement is on the right side of an issue morally, but seems to be losing politically? That’s the question the pro-life movement needs to answer, and fast.
Abortion policy is receiving renewed attention after this month’s election in Wisconsin in which a left-wing judge won by 11 points after campaigning relentlessly on abortion for a seat on the state’s Supreme Court, which has a pending lawsuit over the state’s pro-life law. But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a fetal heartbeat bill last week that protects unborn babies at six weeks’ gestation. His action suggests that Republicans can win on abortion if they define the terms of the debate.
Last week, Ed Whelanfiled an amicus brief on behalf of EPPC concerning the FDA’s emergency motion for a stay pending appeal of the Texas ruling against the FDA’s approval of the abortion drug mifepristone.
