Are we really going to fight over abortion again? Didn't we do that decades ago? Maybe the evangelicals weren't paying attention. So here's a thought: As Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg observed not long ago, abortion rights “center on a woman’s autonomy to determine her life’s course, and thus to enjoy equal citizenship stature.” In a New Yorker essay, Jeffrey Toobin says, "every diminishment of that right diminishes women. With stakes of such magnitude, it is wise to weigh carefully the difference between compromise and surrender."
Mr. President, we know that you are a compromiser and a consensus builder but issues such as this one demand you to stand up, face the heat, and refuse to budge. Let's remember that you won the election and you will win the next one in a landslide if you remain true to the principals that got you there.
