Pro-life theocon, Mark Stricherz, reviews Ramesh Ponnuru’s book, "Party of Death," and confirms what I suspected:
The chief intellectual weakness of [the pro-life] movement is no longer rhetorical. If anything, it’s political. The cause is too often linked with that of conservatism and the Republican Party.

It contains virtually no criticisms of the Republican Party, let alone social conservatives.
The fig leaf just fell off, methinks.
