I read that last summer.  And I think it is happening.  Look at it this way, when did Republicans gain control of congress?  21 years after Roe V Wade.  Coincidence?  Perhaps.

"Though the controversy over abortion is significant, the main thrust of conservatives is less government--such irony!"

Ur... you are forgetting that if a fetus is considered a living human being, then abortion is murder. You think it is too much government to make murder illegal?

This is a matter of less government, really. Less federal government anyway. I don't want a federal mandate against abortion. I think that, too, would be an imposition on the states.

I think just as we decide what is legal in our states concerning assisted suicide, etc., it should be left to the people of a state to decide whether killing an unborn child is murder.

Thanks, Mom, for not aborting me; therefore, I am obligated to vote republican! Dream on.

Though you may not like it, studies (and common sense) have shown that children tend, on average, to absorb the values of their parents. Shocking, huh?

Whatever became of youth rebellion against parents?

And why is it not more logical for a woman--supposing she rationally thought it through--to decide rather than "people"?

Better yet, let the child in question decide... though you'd have to wait 'til he was 18, of course.

I think the point is that murder laws are always on state books. ... unless it's the killing of federal agents. That one is a federal crime. ... so maybe what we should do is declare all unborn children honourary federal agents until the day of their birth.

It all comes down to the fact that there was no "right" to abortion until the Supreme Court smoked some Angel Dust laden weed and pulled it from their hooka.

No reason to worry about what's actually written in the U.S. Constitution when a good halucination will do the trick.

As far as the idea that there are fewer Democrats because of abortion, as long as killing another human being is easier to face than taking responsibility for your actions, there will always be abortion.
