Alexandra DeSanctis is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and co-author of Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing.
Imagine if every GOP politician gave interviews explicitly detailing why elective abortion is not a health-care procedure and is never medically indicated - why, indeed, abortion isn't beneficial to women's health at all. The Republican choice not to develop such a strategy so doesn't prove that the pro-life message has failed; it proves only that Republicans have failed to articulate that message.
