In 1973, a majority Republican-appointed Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. Here is the simple conservative position they took: abortions can be medically necessary, and Americans have a Constitutional right to privacy assumed by the 4th amendment and 14th amendment. Since the procedure can be medically necessary, and since the government has no business prying into medical decisions, the state cannot pass a law barring or limiting that procedure. Now in 1973, the Republicans on the Supreme Court still believed in limited government, so that decision made sense.
When Republicans started trying to con Christians into supporting them by paying lip service to family values, they came out in opposition to their own court’s ruling and suddenly bemoaned the deaths of all the babies. Understand that before Roe v Wade and before the infiltration of the church by the Republican Party, the Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution saying in part, “we call upon Southern Baptists to work for legislation that will allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity, and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental, and physical health of the mother”. Now that same organization would call that same statement liberal nonsense.
So here’s what I discovered about people who are pro-choice. They aren’t as a rule in favor of abortion being used as a casual method of birth control. They do want to keep the government out of private healthcare decisions, and they do value the needs and rights of the expectant mother as paramount. In 2000, Al Gore insisted that the Democratic National Convention adopt the position that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare” with emphasis on the word rare.
