Yes, John, I picked up on that in the Lisa Meyer's report too. You're not shocked, though, are you?

Frank, I don't think Bush is avoiding the abortion issue by referring it to the states. One of the basic beliefs of republicans is that the states should be making many decisions for U. S. citizens rather than the federal government. The question of abortion, in his opinion, is one of them.

As I have stated before, I am pro-choice, though I vote republican. I just wish abortion had never become a political issue in the first place.

And Jed, I know where you are coming from on the NRA thing, but what the heck does NRA have to do with abortion? The original poster never answered my question.
