I think people are becoming more attuned to the question of abortion. Little Connor's death brought a lot of attention to this issue. >>
Yea, I think you're right, probably one of the reasons why congress won't use Article III section 2 of the US Constitution to limit the SCOTUS and to make abortion illegal or to push for a human life amendment, I know it's never the right time.
they, the republicans, know that in many districts, it's the pro-life democrat catholics who push republican candidates and incumbents over the edge to win the elections.
once Abortion is made illegal there wouldn't be much cause for a pro-life, Reagan Democrat Catholic to cross over and vote Republican.
