There's two ways to approach the RW stance on Roe v. Wade |
|
We all know that the Right hates Roe v. Wade.
We also know that Roe v. Wade is their best fundraising tool: "Send us your tax-deductible $100 contribution today to help us overturn Roe!"
So there's two ways to view the Right's approach to Roe. The first is the very obvious "let's not kill Roe, let's keep it around so we have something to make money fighting."
The other way is to consider Roe as a stepping stone. "We killed Roe, what else can we get rid of?"
"Unnecessary so-called 'safety' regulations don't make you any safer. Send us your contribution to help us overturn OSHA."
"There's no racism in America anymore. Help us stamp out Affirmative Action with your love offering today."
"So-called 'women's rights' have destroyed the traditional family. With your generous gift we can eliminate so-called 'equal opportunity.'"
If they can get rid of a popular and necessary ruling like Roe, what else can they do to turn the clock back to 1869?

1. It is my understanding they focus on all of those |

just not with the same importance. The OSHA thing would be more the Corporate right than the Fundie right though. Witness numerous comments by Santorum and others to see how much they hate women's rights and how much they feel the feminist movement has ruined the "traditional" family.
I don't know how much into affirmative action they are, although I wouldn't bet that they aren't opposed, but they'd play the Christians being persecuted card in this category. If they manage to remove Roe there is still gay marriage, school prayer, the ten commandments and the "decadent culture."
