I think you made a good point in noting that the abortion debate has been shaped by radicals on both sides..I believe Clinton said it best when he stated that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare." And coming from a Democrat, i believe that we've done a crappy job at shaping the abortion debate, allowing conservatives, and pro-lifers, to paint the Democratic Party as "pro-abortion", which just isn't the case at all. I don't believe anyone likes the idea of abortion, and thus policies and programs should be instituted that would likely decrease the chance of an unwanted pregnancy, such as sex-education, and certainly NOT rugged insistence on abstinence, as the religious right would like to have it
MATTB - your comments were awesome, and i don't think i could agree with someone anymore
