You are missing the historical context. The ABA leadership officially adopted a Pro-Abortion position. Much of the general membership was outraged. The tactic used by the alienated Pro-Life membership in response to the Pro-Abortion leadership was to demand a full vote of all members. This was the "Pro-Life" position in this controversy. You need to understand this

I likewise think you are making an unwarranted inference, and I explained my rationale for that above. Nothing in your statement illuminates her personal position. She is duty bound to represent the Texas Bar as a whole.

Notice I am not concluding what her position is, either way. I am vigorously asserting thatteh evidence you have provided does not illuminate her personal position. At all. And I think it is dishonest to continue to represnt your point of view as a repeat, without also including my response.

Sorry for not posting a full record of your response - I must have overlooked one of your posts on this huge thread - I saw the one about this costing the ABA members, but didn't see a follow up - I am not trying to misrepresent either of our views.

I would agree that Miers' personal stance may or may not have been revealed by her action on behalf of the Texas Bar. But I can tell you with absolute certainty that the impetus to bring the abortion issue to a vote of the full ABA membership came from the pro-life side, in direct response to the ABA leadership having adopted pro-abortion positions.
