While abortion was not directly on the special election ballot, the result marks the latest setback for Republicans in a conservative-leaning state who favor imposing tough restrictions on the procedure.
I'm not, I see the GOP going the way of the Federalists in the near future. My fear is that they won't go down without a long, destructive, and bloody fight.
Indeed, my hope is that the Republican Party collapses. When that happened to the Whigs, the focus issue for the party that replaced them was the abolition of slavery. Here's hoping the moral wing of the next right-wing party comes out swinging similarly strong for labor rights: not just speaking in favor and milking votes the way the Democrats do, but actually dealing with the problem and moving on.
