Big Political Football?

Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center in Washington, said in an interview that part of the reason the debate gets so strident is because of the number of people who have invested themselves deeply in the debate.

“There are very well organized advocacy groups on both sides [ of the abortion ] and they make a lot of noise and they push these issues very strongly. And they’ve pushing them for 30 years and this has become part of American politics. Frankly, they raise a lot of money by pushing these issues but they don’t change anyone’s mind.

It’s big political football for significant groups in American politics.”
