Pro-Life and the ‘Leave Us Alone’ Philosophy

In about twenty four hours, I plan to attend a lunch briefing featuring pro-tax-cut activist, Grover Norquist. He is perhaps most famous for forging the ‘Leave-Us-Alone Coalition,’ a “description of a hoped-for reality of cooperation between social conservatives, libertarians / free market supporters, and various single-issue voters such as gun rights supporters.”

The title of his new book, Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government’s Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives, says it all. Yet as a so-called one-issue voter (i.e. pro-life), I find myself increasingly uncertain as to what his philosophy has to say on pro-life issues and progress.

That may be a good question to ask Mr. Norquist.
