During the eight years of the Reagan presidency, the number of legal abortions increased by more than 5 percent; during the eight years of the Clinton presidency, the number dropped by 36 percent. The overall abortion rate (calculated as the number of abortions per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44) was more or less stable during the Reagan years, but during the Clinton presidency it dropped by 11 percent.

Idiot. I do believe the democrats held the congress during Reagan presidency, and, in the Clinton years it was Republicans who had a majority was it not? The two bodies of the congress set out the funding and programs.

abortion - death penalty, if you are going to put things in order of importance, then an innocent life taken seem much more important than the application of law on a convicted murderer.

Y'all have at least one answer.

I envision a very dysfunctional person, indeed, who can separate their conscience and their religion.

Or someone who is deceiving himself as to what his "religion" really is.
