Subject: RE: BS: Bush/Gore Round 1, continued
I never really understand that bit about "control over what women can do with their bodies", as if it ended the argument, because there's so many controls on what anybody can do with their own bodies in any case. Driving a car for example,to quote one which isn't too contentious.

But surely for anyone who hates the whole idea of abortion, the crucial thing isn't which guy is more likely to change the legal structure against which abortion happens, but rather which guy is going to push policies which make it less likely that women are going to choose to have abortions, and issues like legality oar only one factor in that kind of decision...
