For Anti-Abortion Moderates: Heads Up! Your Movement Has Moved The Goalposts! [View all]
Here's a talking point that pro-choice and pro-birth-control advocates should use with "moderate" anti-abortion voters. Let them know that their leaders have moved the goal-posts.
Most of us listening to anti-abortion politicians had had the belief that abortion would still be allowed in the case of rape, incest, and if the mother's life is in peril. A lot of self-described anti-abortion moderates have swallowed that scam hook, line, and sinker. Well, the Todd Akin campaign shows that anti-abortion politicians are out to outlaw abortion IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. Not only that, they ALSO want to BAN birth-control.
This is a talking point we should hammer through again and again and again. And for those complacent anti-abortion moderates who believe that "they'll never do that," the answer is clear: OH YES THEY WOULD!
