Your memories are probably as sloppy as your current thinking. Though pretty young, I remember the shock that accompanied the ruling. I remember my parents being stunned. My mother explained it to me.

Really, you were only five years old?

That was in 1973, you know nothing of the 10 or 15 years before that (in reality you don't remember the details of 1973 politics either).

Why do you go to such extremes in reaction to social conservatism and a pro-life position of trying to end abortion?

I note that you avoided the “acid, abortion, and amnesty” thing. Good move, because it cuts against your position.

Again, you assume that I base everything off of a memory of 40 years ago. My parents knew it meant killing a baby. There were laws on the books forbidding it, so there must have been some knowledge that it was a bad thing. McGovern was tainted by his support for it. All of those things and more make me tend to not believe you. Point me toward something that backs up your contention that the public didn’t know that abortion meant the baby dies.

You still can’t come up with one leftwing social position I’m promoting, or one social conservative position I’m attacking. My reaction is not to social conservatism. You are not social conservatism.
