Any women watching this should know that abortion will be illegal under Romney. /nt

2. Probably not. It wasn't illegal under Bush.

We'll more likely see more of the same from the Republicans: harassing and constricting reproductive rights, especially for the poor, but not making any fundamental changes. That way they can continue to mobilize their base by fulminating about abortions and denouncing Roe v. Wade.

For six years, the Republicans held the Presidency and both houses of Congress. Abortion remained legal. I keep wondering when the anti-abortionists will realize that they're being played by cynical politicians who don't actually give a damn about the supposed "slaughter of the unborn" or "the new Holocaust" or whatever other slogan they scream.
