The majority seems to be in favor of keeping Roe v.

The righties are very well aware that Obama can be pushed to the right, look at FISA, off shore drilling etc. They also know infanticide ups the ante a little bit, it just sounds so much worse.<BR/><BR/>Watch, after the convention of course, Obama move to the right on this issue. If abortion is ones motivating issue, McCain just may be the better choice.

While it's true there are mechanisms in Canada for challenging "hate speech," I'll be very surprised if this complaint isn't ultimately dismissed.<BR/><BR/>Trust me, one would be extremely hard pressed to find many Canadians who support censoring <I>Maclean's</I>.<BR/><BR/>But you'll find lots who think Mark Steyn is a sensationalist idiot.illusory tenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524761974822871419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5044318737317983833.post-87928270977118706332008-08-19T12:34:00.000-05:002008-08-19T12:34:00.000-05:00I wondered about that.

The HR commission strikes me as a little shady, but I have yet to find anything really damning. You wouldn't happen to have any links/sources on that, would you? I'm curious.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393762115493350763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5044318737317983833.post-57593631824585152142008-08-19T12:31:00.000-05:002008-08-19T12:31:00.000-05:00Good piece, Emily.
