Forget about abortion.

As I have said before many times, and will say again many times more I am sure, abortion is a non-issue. It is only a wedge for politicians to throw red meat to their perspective constituents.

There are only two ways that abortion laws will change: either the Supreme Court is restacked and a they take up a challenge to Roe v. Wade and go against 30 years of case law and precident, or the Congress passes a Constitutional ammendment that is ratfied by two-thirds of the states.

Neither of these things are going to happen any time soon, and the Governor of California has zero influence in the matter.

The sooner conservatives figure this out, the better, because then we can all get on with issues that we CAN change, and we would deprive the liberals of their favorite fear-tactic.

Three ways .. change the public's mind. Ultra-sound imaging is doing more to change minds than all of the ranting and raving ever will. Once parents see the child they will understand. Ask any doctor, they will tell you. This is what is slowly tilting the tables.

I am in total agreement. No governor of any state will have much influence over this issue. We could focus on abortion too much and end up putting a bunch of socialists in office.

Maybe you don't know that in California over $100 million/year of taxpayer money goes to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers per year. Why is that a Libertarian idea? Plus, California hospitals, pharmacists, and med students are forced to participate in abortions. Why is that okay?
