Oh Yeah, Abortion

Every 4 years or so (around (R) convention time, as it happens) the media reminds us all how important abortion – whether it’s allowed, under which circumstances – is as an issue to everyone, to the extent that it basically dictates the votes of at least half the country.

That’s good, because I always seem to totally forget about that issue in the intervening 4 years, and even get lulled into thinking there might be other things the federal government might profitably concern itself with, and (therefore) other issues on which an intelligent person might wish to base his/her vote. But nope, then I remember, there is just abortion.
