In other words, Bush's position on abortion has had ZERO effect on the number of abortions performed. Thanks.

OO sez: Sigh...there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
It stuns me to see so many on this thread who still believe the liberal lie that the pro-abortion position is a winning one politically. It is precisely the opposite.
The difference between the parties on abortion for the part quarter century has been this:
1) The GOP is pro-life, but welcomes pro-choicers into the big tent.
2) The 'Rats are pro-abortion, and pro-lifers are welcome to go to hell (see Bob Casey Sr., 1992; Zell Miller, 2004)
3) Pro-lifers steadily emigrate to the GOP from the 'Rats beginning in '80 (the Reagan Democrats, remember?), resulting in the GOP winning 5 of the next 7 presidential elections and turn solid House, Senate and Gubernatorial minorities into solid majorities across the board.
4) As a result of all this, people like Fenris6 (and, to be fair, several others on this thread) feel the right move for the GOP in 2008 is to kick the pro-lifers to the curb with a pro-abortion candidate.
Absolutely stunning...
