pecuniumWho here thinks That Tuesday (11 Sep 2001) was bad?
Who thinks the thing to do, because of that, is to change the abortion laws in this country?
According to Karen Hughes that is one of the things we ought to do.
BLITZER: There is a clear difference when it comes to abortion rights between the president and his Democratic challenger, John Kerry. In your opinion, Karen, how big of an issue will this abortion rights issue be in this campaign?
HUGHES: Well, Wolf, it's always an issue. And I frankly think it's changing somewhat. I think after September 11th the American people are valuing life more and realizing that we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every life.
And President Bush has worked to say, let's be reasonable, let's work to value life, let's try to reduce the number of abortions, let's increase adoptions.
And I think those are the kind of policies that the American people can support, particularly at a time when we're facing an enemy, and really the fundamental difference between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life. It's the founding conviction of our country, that we're endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, the right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
From "Late Edition, with Wolf Blitzer
Now, I don't care what one's opinion on the abortion issue it, that isn't what I'm talking about, no, it's the attempt to tie abortion issues to That Tuesday. The implication is that somehow abortion and terrorism are combined (well, they are, but we don't seem to care about those terrorists, they can have all the Ricin they want, plant all the bombs they like, and shoot people because they disagree with them, just so long as they are "christians", but I digress).
Sigh.
