    but the pro-choice advocates who equate abortion rights with our constitutional rights are making me sick. And let me just say this. For 20 of the past 28 years, we have had a pro-life president. Abortion is still legal is
    it not? I really don't see how the abortion issue is worth choosing our president by.

    >found a constitutional right to abortion.
    You mean the one that doesn't exist? Your article is called Once upon a Principle. What about the principle of judges not letting their personal views interfere with their decision on what the Constitution says? I am pro-choice with reservations, but the pro-choice who equates abortion rights with our rights of free thought

    Give it a rest Quindlen. Your usually partisan lens[left of center],refuses to see that the game is played with equal ferocity on both sides. An ''evolving''Republican will get just as pounded by the Democrat as vice versa. You forget that Obama was ''for''Justice Roberts before he was ''against''him. That Hillary was ''for''immediate Iraq withdrawl before she was ''against''it,and before she was ''for''it again. That policy makers of both parties were ''for''Ethanol before they were ''against ''it,and are ''for ''it again,to be ''against''it next week. This is hardly a portion of a McCain. Remember Pelosis ''road to peace''in Syria? I think the North Koreans have something to say regarding this right about now. How about the ''New Era''? The ''draining of the swamp''after the Democrat takeover? Business as usual reigns,with yet another fatcat Farm Bill of hundreds of billions in the offing even though farms are having it better than they have in decades. We could do this all day. With McCain,sure. But ALSO with the others,and those of both parties.
