The abortion law controversy is a lot of hype so that the GOPe and Democrat political machines can raise a lot of money and support from people who feel strongly about abortion on both sides.

As the late NY Senator Pat Moynihan put it: "boob bait for bubba" - tough-sounding legislation that doesn't actually have any teeth.

I’ve watched Rove speak of “wedge issues” in some of his television appearances.

These emotional symbolic issues suck the voters in at election time for a big disappointment later on when they realize the folks they elected were giving them the shaft.

Obamacare has abortion and birth control in it, along with other left-leaning bells and whistles, but many O supporters have awakened to the fact it makes them pay more for insurance.

That’s because Obamacare is really about bailing out the health insurance industry.
