----- Huh? On the basis of our exchange on another Miers thread, I had the distinct impression that you were in favor of her nomination.
That was a quick change of heart. -----
You are probably misreading my position here, along with hers.
Her statement, if taken literally, means that if science can determine that it is a unique life (it is) then it is protected.
"You are probably misreading my position here, along with hers."
No, I don't think so. This little bit of pro-abortion boilerplate ...
"Legislating religion or morality we gave up on a long time ago"
... which preceded Miers' murky statement regarding science, religion and the appropriateness of not acting under the law, makes her position rather less than stellar, from a pro-life point of view.
However her words may be technically interpreted, they mirror the rhetoric of the pro-choice movement (particular the first quotation about "the freedom of the individual woman's...) Anyway, the problem isn't that she's certainly not conservative, the problem is that she MAY not be conservative, and we can't risk a maybe on this.
