• Advocate: Abortion Does Involve Morality

BLOOMINGTON -- Pro-choice advocates need to join pro-life advocates in debating abortion in moral terms, argued the chairman of the International Planned Parenthood Council. Pro-choice arguments have been ineffective for 25 years because they have been based largely on women's rights and rights to privacy, Alex Sanger said Monday. While those are important arguments, they have allowed the pro-life side to focus on moral issues, and American public opinion on abortion hasn't changed in 30 years, he said.

• Pro-Lifers Cheer Health Care Bill's Demise ; Abortion-Funding Provision in Senate Version Stirred Foes

The mood among pro-lifers who were in town for the annual March for Life on Friday was ebullient and optimistic, owing to the failure of the Senate's health-care reform bill, which opponents said expanded federally subsidized abortion and included no conscience protections. From a press conference sponsored by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLTC) on Thursday to a large gathering of Catholic youth in the Verizon Center Friday morning to the gathering of an estimated 200,000 people Friday afternoon on the Mall, abortion opponents said public opinion was finally swinging their way.

• Hear Suozzi On Abortion Divide

NEW YORK - For many staunch supporters and opponents of abortion rights, the search for a third way on the issue seems like so much phony political positioning. But the truth is that politicians are already engaging in strained positioning on abortion. They know there is a large ambivalent middle ground of public opinion that is uneasy with abortion itself and also uneasy with a government ban on the procedure. So they fudge.

• A Limited and Humane Decision

Simply describing partial-birth abortion is enough to revolt a majority of Americans, who have asked time and again for the barbaric, infanticidal practice to end. Yesterday, the Supreme Court acknowledged them. The limited and careful 5-4 ruling upholds the broadly bipartisan Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which outlaws intentional partial-birth abortion with exceptions for endangerment to a mother's life. The victory for commonsense morality and for constitutional jurisprudence is proof that under the Roberts court, careful abortion restrictions can begin to shift the law from the abortion-on-demand regime enacted in 1973 to one that better reflects public opinion and morals.
