Abortion foes focus on fall elections

Posted at 3:35 PM on June 23, 2006 by Bob Collins (1 Comments)

Associated Press has a story out this afternoon looking at how anti-abortion forces are working to be sure President Bush's sagging popularity doesn't hurt the cause in November.

"It's going to be a difficult year," said Karen Cross, political director for the group, which is holding its annual, three-day meeting in Nashville. "We're going to try to protect our pro-life incumbents and win open seats and defeat pro-abortion candidates or incumbents."

I think the so-called "pro-life" groups are getting exposed for the extremists they are - with not just opposing legal abortions, but also contraception.

Craig Westover's column about how contraception is being used as a wedge issue to harm Michele Bachmann's campaign is a case in point.
