Mondale is a good example of this - he tries to come across as being "grandfatherly", but he has consistently argued and fought for the procedure I've just described.
Minnesotans, and perhaps this is partially Garrison Keillor's fault, have a public image both in America and abroad, that suggests "niceness" is a quality of their state. I will question that severely if all they can do is vote for standard issue liberals who demand the right to murder babies in this manner.
