>> AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH RICE'S POSITION ON ABORTION? >

Your own post just explained it:
'Describing pro-lifers as "the other side"'

Hillary describes pro-lifers as "the other side". So if it's Hillary vs. Condi, pro-lifers will be on "the other side" of both of the "main" candidates and will be forced to vote for someone who supports allowing the killing of unborn babies.

BTW, there is no such thing as a "libertarian" position on abortion. Libertarians are all over the spectrum on the issue. Congressman Ron Paul is a hard core libertarian and he votes PRO-LIFE. He and Condi see very differently on the issue.

LIBERTARIANS ON ABORTION: Abortion is a woman’s choice and does not concern the state. Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that libertarians can hold good-faith views on both sides, we believe the government should be kept out of the question. We condemn state-funded abortions. It is particularly harsh to force someone who believes that abortion is murder to pay for another’s abortion. It is the right of the woman, not the state, to decide the desirability of prenatal testing, Cesarean births, fetal surgery, and/or home births.

I read Condi's position as not the opposite of Pro-life (meaning pro-choice) but ANOTHER side. She believes the government should not be involved with killing babies. She doesn't see this "right" in the constitution.

In a perfect world, we would not be having this discussion. How sad that anyone could defend the indefensible. If Americans were not so promiscuous, we would not have to kill our babies for birth control.
