Bush has done several other important things to help the pro-life cause. His first day in office, he restored Reagan's Mexico City policy, which clinton had reversed, and thus blocked support for third-world abortions. He installed a pro-life team at the UN which has strongly reversed clinton's policies there. So far he has not caved in on judicial appointments, as his predecessors did when the Democrats shot down their first nominations. He has addressed the national March on Life by phone, which even Reagan refrained from doing. He supported the unborn child protection act. And numerous other things.

IF he succeeds in appointing pro-life Supreme Court Justices, a matter that he was forced to delay into his second term, then there's a real chance to reverse Roe v. Wade.

Nobody's perfect, but Bush has actually DONE more to reverse the momentum toward abortion than even Reagan managed to do. Most importantly perhaps, he has presided over two elections that saw increasing numbers of pro-life senators elected. I'm very worried by the Specter business, but I'm willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt for a while longer yet, until I see how judicial appointments go.
