Condi Rice has the best bead on the abortion issue I've seen articulated yet.

Her "bead" on abortion: government shouldn't have a role in it. Well, not quite. Partial birth abortion is bad. Outlaw that. Let parents know about it. Make that a law. Put a little dash of government there.

It doesn't sound like the position of a principled person, or a person who has ever actually seen the results of an abortion. It sounds like the position of a survey taker.

I agree with you. I never understood people who say "Government shouldn't be involved in the abortion issue, except for outlawing partial-birth. And letting the parents know. And this. And that." Either they want the government involved, to varying degrees, or they don't.

By the way, do these folks believe the Supreme Court is part of the government? Because giving official sanction to any abortion for any reason certainly sounds like government involvement to me. What they really mean when they say government shouldn't be involved is it should render a class of human beings unprotectable.

Incidentally, I see the same inconsistency when gays say they don't want the government involved in their business, then turn right around and demand official sanction for their "marriages."
