Seriously....eight years?
Did conservatives work to overturn Roe?
Nah. If they had cultcha life would cease to be politically useful as a voting issue and a tool to farm votes from the information-challenged republican base.

More importantly the view you hold has no legs culturally.
Evolutionary Theory of Culture 101-- culture doesnt shape society as much as society shapes culture according to its collective needs.
Own it....prolife issues are just a whip that the stealthy philosopher kings of the right side use to beat the low information electorate with.

infant/fetus rights (same thing in reverse).
Incompletely differentiated cell clumps do not have citizen rights.
The very first thing the right must abandon is personhood/life at conception.
Simply a moronic argument.
And the citizen (mother) 's rights trump the rights of the fetus.
In a free society the state simply cannot force women to be wombs.
The first right of a free people is autonomy over ones own body.

I am not advocating anything.
I am speaking truth.
Sure, there should be two parties.
But it certainly isn't my say.
I am saying the current form of the GOP is doomed.
Evolution or extinction, your choice.

I am not talking individuals......I said the republican brand.
Those culture war issues are welded onto the GOP.
I'm just speakin truth.

So what Chris?
70% of high school seniors would not have an abortion.
60% of high school seniors are against overturning Roe.
Like with racial discrimination, anti-miscegenation and segregation laws, the majority approved....and that is we have judicial interpretation to protect citizens against mob rule.
All this lugubrious whing about teh constitution.....feh.

" the GOP and the culture wars are two entirely different things."
FALSE!
E. D., the GOP has become synonomynous with teh culture wars.
What is the GOP brand? Not small government or free market capitalism-- but anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-science, and anti-intellectual.
That is your brand.
The GOP has sown itself into a shroud with the religious right.
See those statistics? ^^
That is the storm crows coming home to roost.

Prop 8 will be eventually overturned by judicial fiat.
Does anyone doubt that?
Roe v Wade will never be overturned.
Neither will Brown v Board or Loving v Virginia.

Nope.
Its ovah. And I'm not arrogant......I'm mathic. Frum.
Gallup’s latest polling reveals the continuing collapse of the Republican party's base vote. The news is so very bad that there will be only one possible response from GOP party leadership and our radio talkers: Ignore it.
Overall: 36% of Americans now identify as Democrats and only 28% as Republicans. That 8% advantage for the Dems is the biggest since 1983, before the Reagan boom and triumph in the Cold War created a “Reagan generation” of young conservatives.
George Bush may get much of the blame. But Republicans in Congress are even less popular than Bush, with a 25% approval rating in December 2008.
State by state, the numbers look even worse. In only 7 states do more Americans identify as Republicans than as Democrats:
Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, Nebraska, and Kansas, and Alabama.
The two parties are tied in Arizona and South Carolina.
In all the other 41 states, including every one of the large population states, Democrats outnumber Republicans. In 29 states, including every Northeastern state and every Midwestern state save Indiana, Democrats outnumber Republicans by 10 points or more.
The GOP is like a chicken with its head cut off.
The body will run around for a while.....but the ending is pertty certain.

The culture wars are over.
The last election was the political equivalent of the extinction event at the K-T boundary for religious conservatism.
The elephant in the room of teh cultcha of teh Unborn is this-- how many citizens actually think Roe should be overturned?
Less than 40%.
There's no ideological refuge in mob rule for the religious right anymore. The religious right is a shrinking mob.
Evolve or go extinct.
