B) Yes, the lies spread about them. Abortion is accepted because it should be, but partial birth abortion is overwhelmingly condemned because of all those lies. Strong argument.

Don't forget that a Republican president nominated that hero of conservatism, Justice Stevens...

Also as to some of RU OX Alum's earlier points, and maybe I'm remembering things incorrectly, but neither Roe nor Casey made it ok to have abortions in every circumstance. There are still times when the legislature can step in where state interests are paramount. Granted, they are limited circumstances, but it's not always simply up to a woman's choice.

SEC-Do you really believe everything in that video?
Or do you just wish it was all true?
As we have seen all too many times, it is rather easy to make propaganda movies with a very clear bent to them.
And in this day and age very easy to get them out to see.
Which makes it even harder to counter, let alone stop.
Once this sort of stuff gets out, people remember it rather than the follow-up counters.

Or that he's voted along party lines 96% of the time. If he's supposed to be the one to unite America, how is he going to do it while marching lockstep with the Democratic party?

And if you are going to pick out only one matter-do you know just how often John M voted for Bush policies?
Well over 95%.
That is rather lock step as well.
