    Ho-boy. I’m waiting for which one of the second-tier Republicans decides to top these statements by making the next logical leap forward and stating that women who have abortions–which surely amounts to premeditated conspiracy to commit murder–deserve the death penalty for having said abortion.

    I’m guessing Keyes, Tancredo, or Brownback, but the smart money is on Keyes.

    Meanwhile, members of the Taliban are pleased with our progress.

    I would argue that it is the only intellectually consistent arguement for those who sincerely believe abortion is murder.

    If you hire a hit man – you are just as guilty as the hit man for murder.

    If you talk to people at Planned Parenthood – (and other providers) you will hear over and over again the cases where the very same women manning the picket lines protesting against them show up for abortions.

    These people think that THEIR abortion is justified and okay – but the damn minorities and poor people and slutty college girls shouldn’t be allowed to have abortions…

    When the idea of abortion being outlawed means all women who get them are as liable as the doctors – is going to change the equation for a lot of voters…
