Reply #6: there will always be abortions

[stanwyck]

just not for the poor. But for Newt's latest girlfriend? Sure. I think America would be shocked, shocked! if all the wives/girlfriends/one night stands came forward and said they'd had abortions after pressure from their conservative/rightwing/fundamentalist boyfriends/husbands/one night stands.
The truth is, men don't really want abortion to be illegal. Just some men. And Bush is playing a game. He needed the pro-life votes. But will he come through for them? I think he'll dodge. It will be one more issue, he'll sincerely say he supports...but it will quietly slip away despite his "best efforts".
(by the way, Bush also promised to get to the bottom of the outing of a CIA agent by the White House (treason), find the Anthrax killer, find Bin Laden, and hold people in his administration accountable. His track record is pretty weak.
