I wanted to add somethign to those indy voters out there who really feel the definition of the life's incept is a key issue: the bush republicans used this to alter the doj.

Abortion was the key. The bush republicans needed to take the sheriff out of town and they used the issue of life itself to do it. Just as they used the issue of WMD as an excuse to go prospecting for oil in another country's front yard.

History will prove one thing about abortion - that any strategy that helps to take care of the mother, to reduce her fear of having an unplanned pregnancy come to term with an unhealthy or unloved child - will eliminate this practice that should be so rare in our society.

But history will decide even more so that anyone who votes as a single issue on how to punish that mother or her doctor or anyone else - so blindly that they allow the devil himself to do as he pleases while he mouths the sounds that you expected to hear - that person will be known as the person who began the descent of our country into totalitarianism. Forget about all those bra-burning women out there who will tell you that their bodies are their own - the last thing you need to have, is someone trying to invent a new punishment - for a mother - who has to kill her own child. That punishment is god's alone and woe unto us for those that dare to say they know the mind of god; lucifer is in poor company.

I really feel that abortion was the issue that they used to hijack the dept. of justice - mr. "when the eagle soars" ashcroft was appointed the head after being beaten by a dead incumbent in an election; his views on abortion were what made it a slam dunk for the bush republicans. All of the supreme court appt.s had that vein. The evangelicals that created the bush republicans - seem to feel happy whenever corruption is laid down upon the land, for a cure against abortion -

Even though the greatest strides against abortion were actually made in the clinton administration.
(just a fact, boys! )
