Where are the heartbeat bills? A few have been brought up but so far the heartbeat bill has passed once in four tries. John Kasich of Ohio vetoed it twice, even Mary Fallin of Oklahoma who is known for being strongly pro-life, vetoed it. So far two governors, Mike DeWine of Ohio and Phil Bryant of Mississippi have committed to sign it should it reach their desk. But that's just it, should it reach their desk. Will the Republican Party even take the initiative to lead and put an end to this sick act of abortion, the issue they always campaign on?
They always seem to lead when they know their bill won't go through. A 20 week abortion ban and dismemberment bill got through both the house and senate for an Obama veto. Donald Trump commits to sign it, yet the house and senate which were still under Republican leadership at the time doesn't get it to him.
You don't see a lot of liberals that run on a liberal agenda and then cave on it when they get into office. You see it a lot with conservatives. Either the "conservative" will think it's too extreme of a law being passed or has a fear of the courts.
A lot of Republicans do not have a spine, it's true. But many more are liberals, hiding in conservative clothes. That is until as you say, they are called on to vote or refusing to bring forth the legislation that their conservative base desperately seek, choose to leave their base just standing there jilted, and for the most part un-represented. The word dishonest don't quite cut it.
