This Yahoo story calls Hilary the front runner for 2008, which fills a lot of Democratic activists with dread. I don't know what to think about her. I know that she attracts more hatred than any other person on the left, even more than her husband. So, the right uses her to raise money and quite effectively.
Anyway, she spoke on this occasion regarding abortion. The headline is a bit misleading, but I have read elsewhere that abortion rates fell under Clinton and have risen again under Bush. Lots of reasons for that--some of them perhaps related to Bush--but it is interesting.
But at the end of the story was this report about Bush speaking by telephone to an anti-abortion rally. He said: "'You know, we come from many different backgrounds, but what unites us is our understanding that the essence of civilization is this: The strong have a duty to protect the weak,' Bush said."
Question: what has Bush done to help protect the weak? I have seen a lot to help the rich, the powerful, those who have already accomplished the American dream. Besides lip service to "a culture of life," what has he done for the weak?
