Re: scale and location

Yes, but the more conservative one is, the more important the issue of abortion is to them over other issues. In the end, to the liberal jesuits at fordham, the issue of abortion is a backburner issue and very low wattage one at that compared to other issues that are flamethrowers for them like the welfare state.

The irony is that conservatives are against abortion, and yet they villify single women who have children while on welfare.

Re: scale and location

Perhaps what you say is true. But if so, then we're going to have to put most of the people who say abortion is at the top of the list way out on the extreme right. Almost nobody listed abortion as even the top social issue of concern in polls conducted this election.

Even among conservative politicians it is not at the top of concerns. If Republicans controlled both chambers and the White House do you really think that they would try to push a bill through that outlaws all abortions? That would be political suicide, and they know it. They are never going to do that. However, that doesn't stop them from campaigning as Pro-Life.

Ann Coulter is the Ali G of the GOP

There are usually two groups of people: those who think Ali G is real, and those who think Ali G is hilarious. IOW, there are those who are in on the joke, and those who are the joke. When it comes to Ann Coulter, I can't help but think that people like FEY are the joke.

The same applies to professional wrestling.
