The dam broke long ago and there is little any sitting President can do about it, when over 60% of the population now are in favor abortion.


Yoour 60% figure is about right, but that is how many people think that abortion should be restricted.

Agreed.

Americans do favor restricted abortion. I personally, am against all abortion. Even with those strong convictions, there is little I can do about it.

I also believe that America has changed a great deal in the last 20 years since Reagan was in office. We were once a conservative leaning electorate. We are now a centrist electorate. Neither party has a monopoly on what policies are established.

The Liberals (Legislature) are reluctant to get too far left because they are well aware of the political undertones from the feed back they get from their individual districts.

The same goes for electing a President. It requires a moderate to win these days. This is not how I want it to be, it is simply how it is. And being realistic about it is the first step in changing it later on. Newt Gingrich is a good example of a true realist. Giuliani is also which is why I support his candidacy.
