This has been evident for some time. The intellectual establishment and leaders of opinion overwhelmingly favor abortion. The average person, even after 30 years of pro-abortion propaganda, disagrees.
I wish the Republicans would start undertanding this. They are missing the chance of speaking more openly on life issues. The party is generally pro-life, while the Democrats are pro-abortion; but there's a big difference in the way they address the matter. Democrats scream their views at the top of their lungs; most Republicans try to keep them as quiet as possible, with a few honorable exceptions.
Republicans would do very well if they spoke more openly. Among other things, they could destroy the Democrats' argument that they are the moral party, the party of the underdog, while the Republicans are only selfish money-grubbers. Just the opposite is plainly true. The Democrats are the party of immorality, corruption, and selfishness, and nothing makes the point better than their eagerness to kill babies in order to improve their "lifestyles."

Dear Cicero,
"This has been evident for some time. The intellectual establishment and leaders of opinion overwhelmingly favor abortion. The average person, even after 30 years of pro-abortion propaganda, disagrees."
As this study, commissed by the pro-death crowd, shows, not only has 30 years of propaganda not succeeded in minimizing those who stand for life, BUT THE WELL-FINANCED PRO-DEATH PROPAGANDISTS ARE LOSING GROUND!
Fr. Richard Neuhaus, the editor of First Things, has said that the pro-life movement is about the future, and the pro-death crowd is about the past. As pointed out in one of the articles linked by backhoe, when women see their unborn children in utero, it becomes nearly impossible to procure their death.
As this technology becomes increasingly commonplace, the pro-death crowd will find it increasingly difficult to defend its endorsement of in utero baby-killing.

You're right. I'd love to see a Republican candidate such as President Bush turn to his Demo-Rat rival in debate and say, "I think American women are too good for abortion, don't you?"

Actually, GWB has been pretty good on this issue. But there are the OTHER Republicans...
