[Jane Roe]

I have no delusions about or fondness for the Bush administration whsoever.

I sincerely wish that a Democratic administration were implementing (and I do mean implementing) this portion of the Roe v Wade decision. That is the main reason that I post on abortion threads in DU. To make Democrats aware of this part of the law of Roe v Wade so that they will: (1) win more elections; and (2) implement the abortion law suggested by Roe v Wade in the spirit of that case.

I think there is a strong tendency by a lot of Democrats to completely write off late term fetuses. Although this is a permissible viewpoint under Roe v Wade, the decision itself seems to believe that this is not the course state law would or should follow. I think this complete write off of late term fetuses, as a class deserving of protection, is a big turn off for a lot of voters.

Unfortantely, you are correct that John Ashcroft is not a good person to be put in charge of protecting anybody from anything.
