AMENDMENTS ON MARRIAGE AND ON ABORTION: Ramesh Ponnuru replies to Andrew Sullivan
...Actual supporters of the FMA would be better situated to answer this question than I am. I assume the answer is political. Republican politicians think that pushing for an anti-abortion amendment would be politically damaging, whereas pushing for the FMA isn't damaging and may even be helpful. Religious conservatives know they therefore won't get anywhere asking politicians to push for an anti-abortion amendment but will get somewhere asking them to hold votes on the FMA.
...Having said this, I certainly agree with Sullivan that abortion is a far graver evil than any that may be involved in same-sex marriage. And I wish him all success in his non-blog endeavors.
