Republican's moral compasses have been criticized by the general public turning republicans against each other. Republican's that are moderate on social issues clash with the ultra conservative republicans on major issues in the political landscape. These issues includes the 20 week ban on abortion that states that women are not aloud to get an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and immigration reforms especially on Obama's citizenship plan for illegal immigrants. These problems could undermine the power that Republican's previously thought they would have completely in congress

Republican leadership pulls anti-abortion that apparently was tearing the caucus apart. This is a clear sign that even leadership of the republican party can see the delicate balance that it takes to keep the republican together and strong. GOP sources speculated that up to 24 republicans where going to vote against the bill that would legalize the 20 week abortion ban. Another major issue that weakens the strength of the republican party is immigration as a whole. Republicans have now gone against the usual saying they think that Obama's citizenship plan for illegal immigrants may be a necessary option to boost the economy. This is dangerous for the republican party and its strength in a whole
