Hannity criticizes GOP’s extreme stance on abortion, validating America’s frustration with the Uniparty.
Democrats Laughed, but the Tide Is Turning
When conservatives expressed concerns about the “slippery slope,” Democrats laughed. They dismissed our fears, claiming that if we didn’t embrace their utopian vision of a genderless, polyamorous society focused on self-gratification, we would never win another election. They also reminded us that abortion was the law.
But then, something unexpected happened. The nation elected Donald Trump.
In just four years, Trump laid the groundwork for overturning Roe v. Wade, a feat that seemed impossible after nearly five decades. It was a monumental achievement that defied all expectations.
That’s why it was so disheartening to see Fox News host Sean Hannity, a self-proclaimed practicing Catholic, back away from the Christian belief that life begins at conception. In a recent discussion on his show, Hannity expressed concern that abortion bans before 15 weeks of pregnancy might alienate suburban voters.

Hannity’s remarks were disappointing, to say the least. As a practicing Catholic, he should understand that the sanctity of life is a core Biblical principle. It’s not something we can compromise on for the sake of political expediency.
Hannity’s concerns were sparked by a recent vote in Ohio, where conservatives hoped to raise the threshold for amending the state’s constitution to protect unborn lives. While Hannity worried about losing suburban voters, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee disagreed, emphasizing the importance of protecting life.
It’s disheartening to see Hannity resort to the tired argument of “rare, safe, and legal” that Democrats have used for years to justify their extreme stance on abortion. The Democratic Party has moved far beyond Clinton’s “foot-in-the-door” phrase, advocating for abortion even after birth. Quoting Clinton now only reminds us of our past naivety in believing his words.
PP looking for someone who “meets intensity with grace, unflappability AND makes it fun.”

Hannity’s focus on political strategy and voter appeal is disconnected from the moral imperative of protecting life. Republicans, especially Christians, should not compromise their principles for the sake of votes.
Unfortunately, this trend of avoiding moral stands is not limited to politics. Many churches have also shied away from taking a clear stance, citing IRS tax regulations and a desire to retain membership. This has blurred the moral distinctions between political parties, leading some to refer to them as the “uniparty.”
Huckabee rightly emphasizes that education, not surrender, is the solution. Many people have been misled to believe that a child in the womb is just a mass of cells, but when they are presented with the truth through ultrasounds and accurate information, their perspective often changes.
Former Hollywood actress Leigh-Allyn Baker, known for her role in the Disney TV series “Good Luck Charlie,” experienced a pro-life conversion when she learned about the reality of abortion. She realized that it was not just a decision about women’s rights, but about the life and pain of the unborn child.
Lenin once said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” But for those who value absolute truth, a lie remains a lie, no matter how many times it is repeated.
Hannity’s suggestion to continue down the slippery slope we’ve been on for 50 years is misguided. The overturning of Roe v. Wade gave us an opportunity to halt the slide and protect innocent lives. As Huckabee wisely advises, it’s time to stop playing defense and clearly articulate what we stand for.
