Of partial abortions and morally bankrupt Republicans

Supposedly Trent wants to bring up the 'ole abortion bugaboo while George's aides are against it. This is one of those Rove-dictated articles as it manages to throw meat to the loony right while making George not seem beholden to them.


But, there can be no greater evidence of the moral bankruptcy of the Republican party than the last time this issue was brought up seriously. Leaving aside all of the other debating points about 'partial birth abortions,' in the end it wasn't signed into law by Clinton. Why? Because he demanded that there be an exception for the health and life of the mother and the Republicans wouldn't put one in there. Now we know how they feel about women and the fetuses they claimed to care so much about. They were unconcerned about the lives of both.

Hideous.
