So is Pro Life not a movement because they haven't had the political power to change the issue?
I actually choose my words carefully. I said "change the political dynamics" of an issue. "Birthers" are out there just like there are people who have been "anally probed by aliens" , neither group has any impact on the political dynamics of any debate on any subject. However, people like "right to life", or even people who want to "save the whales" do affect political dynamics.
