Re: Losing the Next Alito Fight (none / 0)

Diversity for its own sake is ignorant.  Given that the protection of reproductive rights is largely tied to which party is in the majority, it's an issue.

How much credibility can this organization really lay claim to if it's failing at its job?  Forest for the trees...

Protection of reproductive rights is tied to public opinion. Party positions are a lagging indicator that track public opinion. That means that there is a correlation between protection of those rights and which party is in the majority, but the driving force is public opinion.

There's a link sure, but congress gets away with all sorts of shit, and so do states, without the public having much knowledge.  If you really want abortion to drop off the table as an issue, get politicians elected who will stop bringing it up for a vote.
