........states adopt a Human Life Amendment that would affirm that every unborn child is a person from the moment of fertilization. He believes this is the heart of the abortion issue.

So do I. And it's why I see no major difference on the issue between Romney and Rudy. Romney was smart enough not to become a NARAL cheerleader, but why couldn't he at least have gotten a "personhood" bill on the floor of the MA legislature? Most of the members are at least nominally Catholics, and it would have started a raging debate in Massholeland. Romney shucked and jived it.

Rudy was an out-and-out advocate for "equal funding," for abortion, which rules him out as a candidate in my book. But, and it's a big strategic "but,".... one which other Republicans ought to go for. Rudy wants to throw the issue to the states. What he has not said, and which damns him, is that he would work to get this on the floor of every state legislature in country. But you know, neither have Mitt, Dunc, Fred, or the Tanc, or any other Republican out there.

That could actually work. If just one big state could pass a "personhood bill," and have the law upheld by SCOTUS against the then inevitable ACLU Challenge, the floodgate opens and we win big.
