If Simon continues to run from the abortion issue, he might lose conservative votes. This concerns me. If he makes it clear that he will do little or nothing to advance the cause of life then he gives pro-lifers little motivation to vote for him.

I don't think very many pro-lifers expect him to mention abortion at every campaign stop (at least I wouldn't if I lived in California.) But simply saying that its "set in stone" at the state and federal level isn't good enough.

To reframe the debate and get away from stereotypical 'pro-life'/'pro-choice' hot buttons; the life choice advocates gain much in defeating the liberal argument by assuming the 'life' side of the 'choice' discussion. The other 'choice' is not pretty, nor easy to side with, unless you are a beneficiary of the 'federal funding' that accompanies 'Planned Parenthood' and the 'choice' programs it currently endorses.
