Well, except for all those other people.

Initially I thought, “why meddle in a pointless holy war?” but then I remembered that’s what we’re all about here.

This from a story on the ban on “partial-birth abortions”. Issues of the story itself aside, this just seemed jaw-droppingly hypocritical, particularly considering the speaker:

“This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government, because it does not come from government — it comes from the creator of life,” the president said, receiving another lengthy standing ovation.

I could go on, but … oh, OK …

It seems unusual to me that a man with such a strong moral compass, when confronted with the question of whether or not to try to stop the killing of unborn babies, would respond:

But Bush is also mindful of the more moderate voters he cannot afford to alienate, and last week repeated a position he offered during his 2000 campaign. He said he would not seek a total ban on abortion because public opinion had not yet shifted to support such a move.
