Abortion and the Republican Party: A New Approach
Consider the fetus. It is life, but just barely. Live, but not viable. Human, but not fully developed.
By Noemie Emery

  • Jonathan Kozol, Phony — Tucker Carlson
  • End Neo-Segregation Now — Michael Greve
  • In Defense of Newt — The Editors & Fred Barnes

This Christmas issue tackled abortion as a defining issue for the Republican Party, with Noemie Emery exploring a new approach to the contentious topic that threatened to split GOP ranks. The editors mounted a defense of Newt Gingrich against Democratic attacks, with Fred Barnes arguing the Democrats needed to find a new bogeyman, while Tucker Carlson debunked Jonathan Kozol's claims on segregation and Michael Greve advocated ending neo-segregation. Coverage also included analysis of Clinton-Dole polling data and dynamics between Gingrich and the Republican freshmen.
