So I checked on the Rasmussen Reports to see where the issue was with voters. It is "very important" at number 10 with "38%" of those polled. My expectation is that those who considered abortion as a very important issue includes people on both sides of the issue. Then when it comes time to cast their vote, some of them will let other issues over-ride this one in their choice of candidate. That moves it even further down in influence, unless it affects swing states.

Dana Goldstein hit the mark when she said that George Will was "explaining to pro-choice Californians why they should vote for Rudy Giuliani."

Bush has placed a woman named Orr at the head of Family Planning in the last few days - she is a dedicated anti-free choice person, with a long public record of dedication to the dogma of the "social conservatives" in her political and career associations.

The White House has been consistent for almost seven years in placing people in appointments who can challenge women's rights, and they have done it here, and in a broader sense, in our international responsibilities about families and women.

This statement is surely a half truth, George Will nearly always understands both sides before taking a position! His position in this case, as usual is correct.

Off subject note to Dana; Half the population sees abortion as murder. To them it is enough to tolerate it,and too much to be forced at gunpoint to pay for it.
