yup.. NOOOO concensus, Larkin says. the mid 70s in percentage truly mean nothing to the lil guy.
* Judicial nominations. Abortion rights advocates
fear that President Bush will fill any Supreme Court vacancy with an abortion opponent and that a GOP-controlled Senate will confirm the nominee. The abortion issue also could figure in battles over lower-court appointments.
* Congress. Anti-abortion activists expect the Senate to quickly pass bills, supported in the House, that would limit abortions —
particularly late-term procedures dubbed by opponents as "partial birth abortions."
* State legislatures. In a report Wednesday, an abortion rights group
said states enacted 34 measures limiting abortion last year.
yup.. NO concensus! they must all be woman hating men anyway.
