"When You Find Yourself in a Hole..."

"...it's a good idea to stop digging."

That's a "good idea" slogan that's managed to survive down through the ages.  Because it makes sense.  Whether not talking to the cops when you have the 5th Amendment Right to remain silent, and perhaps stay out of the slammer, or continuing to try and ram argueably good ideas down the throats of those who have no appetite for them.

Take abortion for example.  Please.

I think the electoral defeat for Republicans on this issue is about seven.  As in, they've lost seven elections in a row when abortion was on the ballot.  And last night in Ohio was just the most recent.

Ohio's "Issue 1" was what it's called.  It codifies into the Ohio State Consitution the absolute Right of women anywhere and everywhere within its borders to have an abortion on demand, limited only by a physician's statement* that the fetus "has viability," in perpetuity.  That means the baby could survive outside the womb.  

So far, so good, one could argue.  Especially since most reasonable Right-to-Lifers wish to limit abortions before about 16 weeks.  The age at which we're told a fetus can feel pain.  Not be viable, just feel pain.  

And to limit abortions to the 2nd trimester.  That's six out of the nine months.  Because a fetus can survive outside the womb from about 6 months (I know, I had one do that).  But "abortion rights" folks want to have them available at anytime, on any day, at any hour.  Even up to the moment of delivery.  

And maybe even after delivery...

I've heard there's a measure being considered in our meaningless politburo Legislature here in Taxifornia to make abortions legal up until the 3rd grade.  Especially if the little darlings are mouthy and ill-tempered.  But that's just a rumor...

So here's my suggestion to the Republican Party.  If you'd like to start winning elections again, how about joining with the Democrats and welcome abortions on demand, at anytime, anyplace!   

First of all, it would take away the only major issue they have with which to beat the Republicans over the head.  And only because they don't know how to argue effectively.    

Second, it's my opinion that permitting Liberal women to abort their pre-borns means they cannot raise more little Liberals.  Choking off the supply of Liberals should be our foremost objective, doncha' think? 

And we know this little plan would work.  Look at Planned Parenthood, for example.  Margaret Sanger created this outfit a century ago to murder pre-born Black people.  She was a nurse and a rabid racist.  So she came up with a plan to erradicate them.  Since its inception PP has "disposed" of more than 18,000,000 Black babies.  lt would be our largest minority instead of Hispanics, BTW, were it not for bad ol' Margaret...  

And anyway, to put an umbilical cord around it, say twenty years down the road, perhaps a less rabid electorate will show up at the ballot box and voting against their self-interest if there were fewer baby-raising Liberals.  Maybe they would dry up and blow away.  One can only hope.

Oh yeah, "Issue 1" passed in Ohio overwhelmingly!  60 - 40%!  Not even close.  They want the State to provide for their birth control, one must assume.  But, one could offer that the losing side was outspent more than 9 to 1.   

Please RNC, raise the white flag!  Give up!  Stop digging!  Regardless of what you think your particular sect of whatever religion demands, and I know it does, what your Country demands is that you first refuse to lose!  Ours is the only Country where you have the Right to abuse your Rights!  And by permitting it to come apart at the seams you're endangering the viability of your Country.  You not only have Rights as an American, you have Obligations.  One of which is not to set fire to our society!  

We've handed control of our Ship of State over to a bunch of whiny Ivy League wannabe pantywaists who've never so much as managed a 7/11.  The ones who want to manage our lives.  Those guys.  And who believe if they just get control of Climate Change, they can then go after all those "White Nationalists," wherever they're hiding.

Let's pry their manicured little fingers off the tiller of our Ship and steer it off the shoals.  Before it's too late...
