Now this seems reasonable, rational and something that the majority of people could support. Which means, of course, that neocon fundies will denounce it as running counter to the "culture of life."

I am SO tired of Leviticans and Dominionists trying to run this country. And this state. And certain parts of this city. Bleah.

I thought it was quite thoughtful. As long as contraceptive is not cheap and available anywhere without restriction, I think we need first trimester abortion. But the odd thing is, a friend who works in this area says that only 20%, I think it was, of the country who will express an opinion are unreasonable--10% abortion on demand-ers, 10% no abortions for ANY reason. Everyone else can be brought to a reasonable point.

But the 20% control the discussion, and the politics. They care the most--in the abstract--until someone's family is affected.
