abortion

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (robert)]

I couldn't agree with Alan Chartock more.  If a republican were elected,
and there were still a republican congress and there were still all the
republican governors across the country, a constitution amendment banning
abortion would pass easily.  And there is still the danger that Mr. Chartock
correctly mentions of the slow chipping away of access to abortion by
various classes of women, which would be equivalent to completely
eliminating a women's right to choose.

Mario Coumo's opinion that the party of the elected president would not
affect a women's access to abortion is quite wrong.  A republican or
reform party president would be in an excellent position to sharply curtail
a women's access to abortion, if not eliminate it outright (as specified
above).  There is nothing more important to the right wing of both the
republican and reform parties than the elimination of legal abortion.
Mr. Coumo could lull us into believing that abortion is not a relevant
issue at all; it should instead be the single more important issue for
the presidential election.
