Robert George's Sanctimony | National Catholic Reporter

Robert George's Sanctimony | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The important point is that abortion is not an electoral issue unless someone puts a bill on the table making it so while also dealing with the difficulties of regulating abortion as the taking of a human life, rather than as a banned medical procedure.  The impossibility of doing this without putting in too many exceptions to make such a bill meaningless is the extent to which this is not an issue at all.  As for gay marriage, the courts will settle this on equal protection grounds in a way that conservatives won't like but reasonable people will.  As for contraception, it has already been required in preventative insurance since December 2000, historionics by Valerie Jerret and A/B Dolan to the contrary.  George's entire electoral approach is rabble rousing - although his particular rabble is dying off.
