You read my mind. I like Zell, a lot. But I have not once heard him apologize for voting with the Dem Senate majority when "Jumpin' Jim" took control back illegitimately in 2000, and like you, I'm a little troubled that these "changes of heart" from pro-choice to pro-life always seem to occur once the person in question no longer is running for anything.
Quite the contrary, in the Dem party, they ALWAYS switch from pro-life to "choice" when they want to move up (See: Al Gore, Joe Lieberman).
I have trouble with the fact that since we can now see on a sonagram that it is a baby, people are changing their minds. Wonder what in the world they thought it was before they could "see" it!!!!
