I think I have heard that song and dance, too. Alan Keyes, in one of his most remarkable gaffe in the IL senate race, likened women who have had abortions to terrorists.

I believe abortion to be very wrong, but framing it like that is well into cocopuff conservative land.

Total lie. That was a fabrication by a lying member of the Dem Media. When challenged on it, he refused to retract, but he quit saying it.

During his campaign, Keyes pointed to parallels between abortion and terrorism, stating that both target innocent life. An August 17 Chicago Sun-Times article interpreted this statement as comparing doctors who performed abortions and women who received them to terrorists of the September 11, 2001 attacks. On a radio program, Keyes responded that this was a mischaracterization. He said he "never spoke of the women who have abortions or the physicians," and that his comment was instead directed toward the objectives behind abortion and terrorism. He explained his position was that the women "are themselves the victims" of an abortion industry that "gain[s] from the crisis of the woman and the death of the child." [12]
