Days after former AND Campaign chief strategist and TGC & ERLC contributor Michael Wear Proposed that Congress Acts to Makes Abortion Federally Legal, the progressive Democrat activist has doubled down on his idea in a new Substack post. Despite receiving sharp pushback from conservative circles, he proffers an article for Politico he wrote recently, in which he denounces the ‘draconian laws’ in states that just recently banned abortion, as well as saying it’s the Republican’s job to be more comprising on abortion, so that the abortion landscape can be “sustainable” and “tolerable” for the American people, many who want to see mass baby murder codified into law.
If Republicans recognize this moment for what it is, they’ll understand that it’s their job now to ensure the majority of the American people come to believe that the post-Dobbs abortion rights landscape is tolerable and sustainable, which was not achieved by those who support Roe. To advance this aim, Republicans and anti-abortion groups would understand that draconian laws in the most conservative states would undermine the project of building a post-Roe America and take a much more active role in policing their own side. As Republican-controlled states move to pass legislation restricting abortion post-Dobbs, they would do so without criminalizing women, and in tandem with robust supports for women and families….
With Dobbs, pro-life Christians should reassess their policy preferences and priorities. Single-issue voting on abortion may no longer be justified, if it ever was.
Wear concludes by dismissing the idea of being a single issue voter on abortion, saying it’s no longer needed, “if it ever was” because apparently the death of 63 million babies over 50 years is not something worth drawing a line in the sand over.
