Abortion
Obama's handgun ban will be a delicious treat for the wingnuts.
The most pro-life thing a president can do is support the right to use contraception and make it widely available.
Romney wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Yet when he was running for the Senate, he came out in favor of choice for women. Pandering triumphs over religious belief.
Ducking votes and then engaging in historical revisionism seems to be a pattern with Obama.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
My first face-to-face encounter with Rep. Henry Hyde, the vociferously anti-choice, then-chair of the House Judiciary Committee, was also my first congressional testimony.
My choice is that people ignore the reflexive hagiographic obituaries that gloss over or underplay Henry Hyde's considerable negative impact on the nation -- and remember him for what he really was.
Republicans all seemed to nod in agreement on one breathtaking policy initiative for women that surfaced in last night's debate: the DIY abortion.
Hot-button issues such as reproductive and gay rights are important topics, but the media does the American people a disservice when it perpetuates a single minded approach to judicial selection.
Mitt Romney lost a "very close" relative to an illegal abortion. If he becomes president, you might, too.
"Pro-abortion rights" is not the first term that comes to mind when I think of a politician who promises to appoint more Supreme Court justices like Scalia.
