Today on the radio early morning heard that this is an effort of Hillary's to lean to the right... while Bush on the other hand is leaning to the left... Balance Beam anyone ? COMMON GROUND -- REDUCING UNWANTED PREGNANCIES: In a speech yesterday at the New York State Capital, Sen. Hillary Clinton said, " There is an opportunity for people of good faith to find common ground in this debate (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/25/nyregion/25clinton.html) -- we should be able to agree that we want every child born in this country to be wanted, cherished and loved." The best way to reduce the number of abortions is to help people out of poverty, get them access to medical care -- including family planning -- and a high-quality education. That is what happened during the 1990s, and the abortion rate declined. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during the Clinton years the abortion rate fell (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5212a1.htm#fig1) by about 27 percent. Now that we have abandoned many of those policies and poverty is back on the rise, the trend has reversed. A new independent study by an ethics professor at Fuller Theological Seminary finds that "contrary to popular assumption, abortion has risen (http://www.sojo.net/5) in the U.S. during George W. Bush's presidency." And protecting women's rights isn't about rejecting faith. The Rev. Debra W. Haffner writes that "for more than fifty years, many religious leaders from diverse denominations have affirmed the moral agency of women (http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=293787) ."
