Gore soft-pedals his abortion stance October 23, 2000 BY ROBERT NOVAK SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST The tone of the Democratic nominee's answer to the U.S. Catholic Conference's questionnaire, released last Wednesday, was stunning: "Al Gore opposes late-term abortions and the procedure of partial-birth abortions." Only two sentences later did he add that prohibitions of partial-birth abortions "should include protections for the life and health of the mother." True champions of abortion rights don't even recognize the term "partial-birth abortion," and previously, the vice president had always been careful to put "so-called" in front of it. What has happened to the Al Gore who in June excoriated as "bitter and divisive" the dissenters in the 5-4 Supreme Court decision striking down Nebraska's ban on the procedure, who said that only his election would preserve its legal use? suntimes.com
