I do know one thing, however. No matter which side is correct, the pill will be viewed right off the bat by most of the conservative base as a tool FOR abortion. Few minds will ever be changed.
I'm afraid that the social Right vote is largely down the drain for the Republicans in the next election. They'll just stay home.
Is there any conservative or Republican group remaining that hasn't been squandered by this administration? The anti-immigration voters?....... the fiscal restraint voters?.......those opposed to the McCain campaign finance "reform" bill?........the pandering to the Katrina Korps?.......rescuing Hezzbollah?......billions for AIDS in Africa and more for rebuilding Lebanon when it may be knocked down again or controlled by a terrorist administration?......
I'm really grumped out this morning.....just shaking my head at strange national policy at play.
The Republican timing on this pill issue is impeccable.....as usual.

I don't believe the President should play to the ignorance of social conservatives instead of doing what is right.
If they are too stupid to learn the difference between contraception and and abortion, that's their problem.
