The central issue in American politics today

If I had to pick the central issue in American politics today, it wouldn’t be the economy, it wouldn’t be national security, it wouldn’t be immigration, it wouldn’t be environmental concerns, and it wouldn’t be gay marriage.  The single most divisive issue is abortion.  I can’t tell you the number of people I’ve heard say “Well, I agree with so and so on this and that, but I can’t vote for him because of his position on abortion.”  I’ve never heard anyone say, “Well, I agree with so and so on this and that, but I can’t vote for him because of his position on national security.”  Everything, it seems, is forgivable except being pro-Life or pro-Abortion.

Roe v. Wade is the central issue in American politics today.  It’s like a knife in the wound that’s slowly killing us — and we know that, if we pull the knife out, we can still die.
