Rabid pro-lifers are equally as bad as the abortion-on-demand crowd. Neither side will get their way, so why not concentrate on compromise. 1st trimester abortion-on-demand is here to stay but common-sense legislation such as providing for parental notification and banning partial birth abortions is about all the general populace will ever buy. Overreaching on abortion is a certain recipe for putting the Dems back in power. It's better to concentrate on economic issues, which would garner support from big numbers of moderate Dems.

I trust that you didn't actually means this. There is no moral equivalence of any sort between an abortionist or his supporters and any pro-lifer. Abortionists and terrorist are morally equivalent. For me, a rabid pro-lifer, your compromise would be a dream come true. To put things in persepective, the odious provision in this bankrupcy law would treat even peaceful protestors differently than any other class of people. And somehow we pro-lifers are to blame for objecting.

Excuse me, but how are the pro lifers overreaching? Also remember, it is the rabidly pro-life Republicans that are also the ones who happen to be the most conservative when it comes to fiscal issues. The RINOs who vote pro abortion also seem to be the first to join the RATs in voting for tax increases.
