Dr. Rice is pro-abortion. She would make a great comissioner.
Often asserted here. Never documented, to my knowledge.
no she isn't.
She doesn't think the government should be involved in abortion. She doesn't believe the government should have any say in banning it nor accepting it.
that's LIBERTARIAN. And it's NOT Pro-Abortion in any sense.....
On that vexing topic of abortion, Rice has reportedly described herself as 'mildly pro-choice' on one occasion and 'reluctantly pro-choice' on another. It is worth noting that she has not used her pro-choice views to enhance her media celebrity status or invoke her 'more tolerant than thou position' vis-à-vis pro-life Republicans, as Richard Riordan, Arlen Specter and Christine Todd Whitman are wont to do – although it is equally worth noting that Colin Powell's views on the subject started out as mild as Rice's and became more strident over time as their political mileage became more apparent. Moreover, the speculation over Rice being on a national ticket has generated some surprisingly fresh thoughts on the whole abortion debate – I especially recommend Patrick Ruffini's 'rant' on the subject.
