The way you say it, it's like you know you can't win with the Republican position on abortion. Despite poll after poll repeatedly and consistently showing 60% support for the pro-life position with exception for rape/incest, you think that position is a loser.

This is one that that annoys me about pundits. They're afraid to engage. After every mass shooting, the right clams up and refuses to make the pro-gun rights position. They let the Left dominate the discussion by ceding the floor and letting them say whatever they want. And now we're being told to do the same on the issue of life.

No wonder we lose.

Either we stand up and defend our positions or admit our positions aren't as good as the other side. Conservatives have to figure out how to talk about these positions and convince others. These aren't small questions. They're fundamental questions about the value of human life as with abortion and about the basic right of a person to defend his life and his property with the gun debate. These shouldn't be difficult positions to defend.
