Well, the citizens elect their congressmen.
Almost all the democrats are pro abortion.
Get a realistic grip on things.
President Bush has already had Barbara Walters and every newspaper in the country on his back over the SC Justice picks. I think the people are to blame.
Apparently, the majority are pro choice.

That's my point.

Unless the citizenry holds DC accountable, nothing is going to change. I don't care how many marches they have, how many letters they write, or how many speeches are given from the pulpit.

Unless we demand it, Washington will NEVER act.

It depends how you define "pro-choice." Like so many other issues, the details are crucial.

Pro-aborts will tell you that polls show most Americans are pro-abort. But it turns out that what the polls show is that very few Americans would ban abortion completely, and that somewhere over 80% would accept at least some of the reasonable restrictions the pro-abort lobby fights so hard against: Parental notification, waiting periods, fetal development info, etc. An easy majority (in the 65% area IIRC) would accept a ban except for rape and incest.

Expect those numbers to get bigger as time goes on...ultrasound makes pro-lifers.
