One issue politics

I hate to point it out to the zealots on both sides of the abortion issue but you take attention away from the things you can can make a difference. It's a dead end argument, no one changes any minds. When the President of NARAL floats a trial balloon about running for the Senate she just looks stupid.

Senate race could get more crowded

Kate Michelman, a prominent abortion-rights advocate, said yesterday that she was giving "some thought" to running as an independent in the race for a Pennsylvania seat in the U.S. Senate. A possible candidacy by Michelman, 63, appears to have much to do with channeling frustration that some reproductive-rights activists have over the National Democratic Party's choice of Bob Casey Jr., an abortion-rights opponent, to challenge Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, who also opposes abortion rights.

If abortion is your issue you have plenty of candidates to vote for.

John Featherman is running in the Republican primary as a socially liberal and fiscally conservative candidate.

Chuck Pennacchio is pro-choice but that is not what he is all about. Getting out of Iraq and leveling the playing field for the rest of us is his emphasis.

Alan Sandals supports a woman's right to choose and wants peace. Who doesn't?

I think abortion is tragic but it didn't start in 1971. The ways to end a pregnancy are as old as mankind. Are people so naive to think that passing a law will end it? Passing a law will not stop it. Only make it more dangerous. Let's assume it is outlawed, what will be the penalties? How long will a woman go to jail for having an abortion? How many doctors will you lock up? One of the few times I ever agreed with Rush Limbaugh was when I heard him say you will not stop abortion with a law but by changing people's hearts.
