Ross Douchet Excellent Op-Ed in the New York Times On Abortion Politics

There is a lot to commend about Douchet's Op Ed in the New York Times- Abortion Politics Didn’t Doom the G.O.P. First is the common sense and setting history straight.

Roe v. Wade was wrong on so many different levels. However I have never understood why Pro-Choice Republicans and in fact many Pro-Choice Democrat Power Brokers from a pure electoral sense would find the reversal of Roe a liberation!!!

If this matter was returned to the states the fight would largely go the State level. I am sure there would be still be work on a Human Life Amendment but lets face it the chance of passage of that would be unlikely. There would have to the huge debate in the States and grassroots works there for that to happen which would take decades.

I would have to think that on a Federal Level having the heat of this issue removed would be a great plus for them. Further it would encourage a more healthy Democrat party where Pro-Life Democrats could perhaps have a realistic chance at National Office.
