Does anyone know if the shuttles have the ability to abort a landing at any time during the re-entry process?

"Shuttle Tragedy: How Fortunate For Bush"

"Now he can get on camera with a tearful and heartfelt message about how they were brave heroes who "touched the face of god" (or some other Reaganesque drivel written for him) and lo-and-behold... ALL AMERICA WILL ADORE BUSH AGAIN.
How fortunate that he gets to rally America for yet another tragedy that occured under his watch.
He'll get to play the comforting and wise father-figure. (I think I'm going to be sick!)

Landing-abort is impossible. It is a winged brick.

The answer is no.
Once re-entry is begun there's no going back.
Every shuttle landing is a deadstick landing.
One try is all they get
