Especially Obama's, as he has had the most radical position among Democrats. Obama's ability to pretend to be above a debate is a rhetorical trick, and has no substance at all, given his actual voting record. antibody, #100, your comment flies in the face of their actual … you know … actions.

It is easier to argue with the cartoon caricatures it has in its head. <blockquote>Obama is not pro-abortion. If he were, then he would not have said that he wants them to be rare. The Democratic leadership seems to be taking the lead on actually reducing abortion</blockquote> This assertion of fact flies in the face of Barcky's actual record. I suppose you will be able to show one reasonable restriction that the Dem leadership is willing to place on abortion. Parental notification? Parental consent? Education as to alternatives? Partial birth abortion ban? Born alive? As I suspected, it prefers to argue with positions not held by the people here. It is easier to argue with the cartoon caricatures it has in its head.

I am all for reducing the number of abortions in the United States and the world. We all know that number will never be reduced to zero, so how do we do that? The literature and studies I have read indicate that making abortion illegal will only create a shift in where these women actually get them. Both are bad.
