The Republicans have not made abortion a litmus test as have the Democrats. There are quite a number of pro-choice Republicans, e.g Rudy Giuliani, Arnold Schwarzenegger, that have not been tarred and feathered and run out of the party on a rail. In this the Republicans have been smarter than the Democrats. The Democrats need to wise up if they are really serious about winning elections and if they really care more for the good of the country more than they do about their love affair with abortion and identity politics.
