>They might say they do, but if there were buildings where actual literal murder were happening it wouldn't be long before people would destroy those places.
What if it's state sanctioned? Where were all the people destroying nazi concentration camps?
Well, the Nazi concentration camps were guarded by lots of soldiers with many guns, so that's one thing. My understanding also is that people had largely changed their opinions on whether killing Jews was actual murder by the time Hitler got around to setting up his final solution. For example, there was never a point, during Hitler's reign, where a political opposition strongly opposed to killing Jews controlled all branches of the government. (This did happen with the Republicans in 2016, and they did not stop abortion at that time, though it was within their power to do so.)
I would also just note that there are policies that have been clearly demonstrated to reduce the number of abortions, but they require a small amount of spending. I struggle to believe that someone who believes abortion is literal murder would shrink from providing e.g. free contraceptives, given the alternative. Yet Republicans tend to be opposed to these things, certainly at the legislative level. The behavior and voting patterns just don't support the claim, IMO.
It was not within Republicans’ power to stop abortion so long as Roe v. Wade is on the books. And a significant fraction of Republicans don’t oppose abortion (just as a significant fraction of Democrats do).
Packing the court and organizing a case to arrive at the correct time would seem to have been an option to do just that. Although I'm not sure the moderate Republicans could have been convinced (maybe just moderate Republicans don't believe it's murder?). So you may have me there.
Packing the court would destroy it and the country, and even if you believed abortion was murder you’d have to balance it against the suffering caused by the destruction of the rule of law.
