Quite true. However, I think the winds are changing on this issue.
I agree. I think public opinion has been swinging around our way for several years. I'll believe the Dims get it, however, when I see their leadership agree to restrictions on partial birth abortion, the most basic, most obvious reform needed.
All I've heard after the 2004 election is "but-monkey" drivel. I'm against abortion, but I really do have "values." I'm against abortion, but despite my appearance of being a statist regulator in my bones, I'm really a libertarian in drag and oppose government intrusion into family matters. Yada, yada, yada.
We'll see. I do think there are some savvy Dim advisers who have figured out they are actually losing elections on this issue.
