Republican Writer: “Honestly I Think You Can
Support Abortion and Still be a Conservativeâ€Micaiah Bilger, Steven Ertelt Jul 13, 2018
Goldberg is a senior editor at the National Review and a New York Times bestselling author. On Twitter Wednesday, he made the comment about fellow conservative journalist Tomi Lahren who has been openly critical of pro-lifers.
“Honestly, I think you can support abortion and still be a conservative. I just have a problem when you’re stupid about it or use left wing arguments for it — or both,†Goldberg wrote in the post, linking to one of Lahren’s recent comments.

Goldberg continued his thread to buttress his thesis that being a conservative is not about a single political issue:
You can be an atheist and be a conservative. You can be lots of things and be a conservative. You can also be **wrong** on almost any single issue and be a conservative. Because conservatism isn’t a single issue philosophy. — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) July 13, 2018
I understand why pro-lifers (and I am essentially pro-life) feel the temptation to make this a definitional litmus test, but that’s a bad idea politically and flawed philosophically. — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) July 13, 2018
