"...The voters have spoken resoundingly on abortion and the right to privacy. Those who want to turn government into Big Brother need to heed the message and give it up..."
Sorry, this was about an extremist law in South Dakota. As for the anti abortion candidates losing, well so did the anti-gay marriage candidates, and that certainly won, big time. The others was about turn out, this time, Dems turned out, just the way it goes.
Abortion is a minor issue for most Americans. I can appreciate the passion that some people have regarding it, but as far as a campaign issue, the majority of the people don't care.
San Francisco values? Nope, AMERICAN values.
Sigh. Here is the single most misunderstood issue, EVER.
It's not really about abortion, is it? It's about the Federal government usurping power that was given to the States, expressly, by the constitution.
Emanations and penumbras be damned! This is a matter for the individuals States to decide. Show me this mythical "Right to Privacy" in the Constitution.
No! I don't by this bologna even one little bit. The fact is that nine S-I-C-K human beings (I use the term loosely)created Big Brother..." and said sic 'em to the killers who would then slaughter like swine MILLIONS of really human babies!
No, this was no "...resoundingly..." spoken anything. It's clear enough after this election that at least half of the voters are basically clueless, uninformed individuals willing to be led around blindly.
So no, I just don't by this argument!!! But thanks for the thread.

Ronald Reagan said it best I think:
'Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.'
The value and righteousness of a society is determined in large part as to how that society treats the most innocent and vulnerable, i.e., the very young, and the very old.
In that regard, America is well on it's way to becoming a euthanasia-nation.
And we as a Nation will not escape the judgment of the Almighty for such abominations.
Abortion should be voted on by the people in each individual state, not by the judicial idiots. Then get it out of national politics for good.
The LA Times is a very pro-abort newspaper. Subscribers are voting to cancel it in droves. I guess that proves the pro-abort message is unpopular.

Oh please. This is skewed beyond redemption.
Since many conservatives stayed home and the Dems won big, it stands to reason that most voters on Tuesday were Dems and, therefore, pro-abort.
Anyone who sees this as a "harbinger of a long-range trend" is woefully ignorant.
Just another left wing moonbat giving Republicans advice on election issues.
No thanks.
Oregon and California. Does that mean all those voters in other states that have voted for parental notification have changed their minds? Or that we should ingore the national polls that favor parental notification are just glitches. The polls that show the American people overwhelmingly oppose abortion on demand as a means of birth control are probably wrong too.
Finally, it should be noted that if the Left really believed there was popular support for 12 year old girls being able to obtain abortions on demand without parental notification, then they wouldn't be so determine to make sure it is the courts and not the people who get to decide.
The measure in South Dakota was too draconian, which is why it lost.
