Obviously, the abortion issue isn't something we can solve, since many don't consider a fetus a human being with full rights. And many don't believe it should be. As for more stringent abortion laws, didn't two attempts at that get voted down this week?
If the Evangelicals had their way, and they certainly tried with Bush, we would see prayer in school and creationism being taught in the classroom. We fight it constantly in Texas. So when McCain brings in a fundamentalist who grants NO exceptions for abortion, and believes creationism is on an equal scientific footing with evolution......
Bush and the slashing of budgets for birth control, most especially abortion, have been in the news for years... just this past summer, I seem to remember some big uproar. Too lazy to Google, but did google Bush and birth control, and tons of stories pop up.
When the Republican party allows its identification to lean too far to the Evangelical right, it is going to lose people in the middle. You can be as logical as you want, and you always are, but the Rep have some work to do to overcome the perceptions of where they are currently.
Doesn't matter who made the laws, the more inclusive party NOW is the Dems. The Reps have made too many of us feel unwelcome these past 8 years. |
