Ultimately, the militants don’t care what’s in the abortion-reduction bill. The mere fact that some pro-choicers support it is, by their reckoning, grounds to oppose it. NRLC Legislative Director Doug Johnson scoffs that the bill was drafted “under the direction of [a] career pro-abortion activist” (Rachel Laser of Third Way) and her congressional “sock puppet” (Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio), who’s trying to hide “his close collaborative relationship [with] key pro-abortion groups.” Never mind that Laser has put in years of work, antagonized her friends, and risked her career as a pro-choicer for Johnson’s cause. Never mind that Ryan has stood up for unborn life, vote after vote after vote after vote, in a party committed to legal and publicly funded abortion. Any pro-lifer who collaborates with pro-choicers is a traitor, any pro-life bill involving a pro-choicer is a “scam,” and any Catholic who supports such a bill is a “fake” Catholic. Common ground is impossible. In the name of life, we must fight to the death.
