The 'religious right' has been pushing abortion and gay marriage for a good while now... and for good reason. It's working for them.
Like it or not, many people have been brainwashed into thinking that Democrats are pro-abortion. And I, for one, think we are getting hurt by it.
I rarely hear the left respond when the right throws these two talking points out there. It makes me sick, because I think we have something to throw back at them.
When confronted about abortion from the right, every pundit and dem should respond with, 'well if you really are against abortions, then you should have been a big fan of Bill Clinton.'. Let them think about it for a second then explain, 'because under Clinton, abortions were down to a thirty year low... That's lower than Reagan, Bush I, and yes even Junior. Under Shrub, abortion's have steadily been increasing. Clinton said that abortions should be rare, safe, and legal. He didn't only preach that, he made it his policy and it worked.' I wish they would then explain why Democratic policies of sex education and better economic conditions have helped to reduce abortions.
I don't think many people realize this, and even if they do, how do you argue against it? You can't.
Democrats are NOT pro-abortion. They are pro-sex education, pro-safe sex, pro-privacy, and pro-choice.
Republicans are NOT pro-abortion. They are anti-sex education, anti-safe sex, anti-privacy, and anti-choice.
