I see it as a warm-up for an all-out onslaught on Palin’s religion and position on abortion. We’re going to be hearing a lot about Roe v. Wade, soon. Very soon.
The problem of the left is that polls say America is now trending pro-life. It tends in the direction of RILOM Pro-Life (rape, incest, life of mother), but it definitely is NOT radical abortion at any time and any method. I think measured in terms of trimesters, the public is overwhelmingly opposed once you leave the 1st trimester.
