Oh really, NIck???? Then I am sure that you are more than happy to provide information to disprove Dan's proposition. Republicans have proposed a number of sensible restrictions on abortion over the years. Can you name one such restriction that was supported by liberal Democrats???? Allow me to provide a list of suggestions: -no public funds should be used to fund abortions -Catholic hospitals should not be required to perform abortions -minors should be required to notify their parents or a judge before getting an abortion -there should be a mandatory waiting period for an abortion -"partial-birth"/"dilation and extraction" abortions should be prohibited -abortions after viability should be prohibited -gender-selection abortions should be prohibited As long as we are dealing with "extremist strawman hogwash" here, I am sure that you'll have no problem identifying which of these restrictions is consistently supported by liberal Democrats - especially since I've given you a list of examples to get you started.
