Don't you find it a bit amuzing that so many fervently anti-gay, pro-life people here are singing the praises of Tammy Bruce, a pro-abortion lesbian?

It's a question of degree. She may be pro-abortion, but she's hardly Kate Michelman.

I was pro-abortion myself until just a few years ago. This made me a conflicted person, though I did not realize it at the time. And it took a long time for me to come down off that fence, even after the reality of abortion began to outweigh the supposedly high-minded concept of "reproductive rights". I'm willing to cut her the same slack I gave myself on this matter. She is dead wrong on this, but so was I.

In the meantime, she has a high level of common sense and a way with words that makes me positively jealous. So I will continue to read her and approve of the areas in which she is absolutely spot-on correct.

Very well written.

As well, because Bruce is gay and pro choice, she has a certain cache within the liberal community she would not otherwise have.

As a result, there are those on the left who have read her books and columns and have re-thought their previous positions on various matters.

For that ALONE, that she can reach the leftists, she is a national treasure.

For warning us about the dangers of the radical gay agenda, she should get a medal.
