Clint is correct. But times change. And now the nation is much more conservative so that, what seemed a rational way of proceeding through life 30 years ago or so, is now viewed as an unsatisfactory path to follow.
Abortion, I think, is an excellent example of that ethos change. It wasn't that long ago, in America, that "a woman's right to choose"(what a euphemism!) seemed quite practicable and sensible to many, many Americans. Now, as I understand it, most Americans oppose abortion(as I do).
Before the US Civil War, most Americans thought slavery was, well, acceptable. Now, slavery is an abomination - as it should be.
I am surprised that someone such a Mr. Eastwood - a man I have always thought was very bright and articulate - has difficulty perceiving this rather obvious cultural and political shift in America.
Either this is not exactly how you meant to put it or you are mixing apples with oranges. Being opposed to abortion does in no way negate "a woman's right to choose". I believe they are two different things. I can believe a woman has a "right to choose" but still be opposed to abortion.
