It hasn't. It's been representative of the bases of the two parties. And the Democratic base is not letting go of this issue.

The left's interpretation of the Constitution can be summed up in a few short phrases. If they support it, it falls under the interstate commerce clause. If they oppose it, it's banned under substantive due process.

The Constitution is not a code word for majority rule.

You don't need to be a lawyer to know that due process is procedural. Go look up Magna Carta.

Bottom line is that most Americans favor some restrictions on abortion.

They also support a partial-birth abortion ban, which the courts have struck down, by a 2 to 1 margin.

Next, do you favor or oppose each of the following proposals. How about -- A law which would make it ILLEGAL to perform a specific abortion procedure conducted in the last six months of pregnancy known as a "partial birth abortion," except in cases necessary to save the life of the mother?

Favor (69.81%), Oppose (25.55%), Don't know (3.84%), Refused (0.80%)

That would be the Prevention First Act, and since it's just welfare for women who want to have sex, obviously Democrats are all for it.

Democrats, get ready to kiss your suburban voters goodbye.

Regardless of how the proponents of abortion at any cost try to spin this matter, the fact is, partial birth abortion is truly a heinous, barbaric, curel, evil and inhuman practice.
That doesn't make it illegal.


No one said it did. What are you getting at? He's giving a reason for why it should be illegal in his opinion.

I will always be pro-choice, and will do everything in my power to keep the party on that track.

That's fine. Just quit trying to pack the courts.

Pack the courts? We're the ones trying to pack the courts?

Putting people on the judiciary to legislate from the bench is definitely packing the courts.

You mean the same way that many in the GOP were whining about the court not getting involved & not legislating from the bench in the whole Schiavo matter

1. I never supported that.
2. The Congress passed a law... upholding it is not 'legislating from the bench'

No, they passed a law to provide a legal basis for federal review.
