And what if the BAIL OUT in the end, fails.

Kmiec and others who dismiss the pro-life movement as misguided and futile also ignore the way in which the legal struggle over a 35-year period has kept the moral question before the public. If henceforth the principal way of opposing abortion is to offer alternative possibilities, it will cease to be a moral issue and will become merely one of a number of pragmatic solutions to a social problem.

The role of “pro-lifers” in the Obama campaign was not to persuade the candidate to moderate his stand on abortion (there is no evidence that they even tried to do so) but to persuade pro-lifers to forget about the issue.

RE “Christians with impeccably pro-life records who suddenly abandoned what they declared to be a sinking ship.”

Outlawing abortion outright federally is not a winnable issue anymore and is constitutionally questionable anyway. Overturning Roe vs Wade slowly as the courts have done is defensible but is never properly explained except by Scalia. A federal ban on partial birth abortion and parental notification were winnable issues but bring up questions of federal power(which I am not that concerned with, but some may be) .

That being said GWB didn't give McCain much to work with politically(even with the surge) , and McCain was a crappy candidate short a foreign crisis just before election, but the whole economy implosion and the 900B bailout bill a few weeks before election doomed McCain for good, probably just as well.
