True, but this issue is SOOOO far down on the list of importance that it pales. We need to fix a number if other critical issues first and then, I believe, the social issue of abortion will cure of its own accord.
From another Mark Shields column:
In a June 2000 Los Angeles Times poll of 2,071 adults nationwide, the question was asked, "Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "Abortion is murder?" Pretty straightforward, you would have to agree..
The answer: 57 percent of those surveyed agreed that "abortion is murder," while 36 percent disagreed. Among women (abortion, we are regularly told, is a woman's issue from which men would do well to butt out), 61 percent judged abortion to be murder.
I conclude that 1.5 million murders a year is an important issue.
It is number one on my list, and that of many others. There is nothing you can do to change that, unless you want to join SentryoverAmerica, and put the pro-life crowd in the political crematoria.
