Why are we yielding our ground in the abortion fight?
What's your reaction to that? For me, incredulity. It's preposterous to say I'm anti-life. In fact, I can give examples of my support for the sanctity of human life, such as my distaste for unprovoked war and distrust of executioners. But look at some hard-right sites, and you'll see that people really throw the "anti-life" frame around quite a bit. Why hasn't it gained traction when so many other right-wing frames, like "Moral Values," "tax relief" and even "pro-life?"
