	Did anyone else out there hear the President's comment
about abortion? He said something to the effect that the
irradication of abortion in this country in one of his admin-
istrations priorities. In other words, he came out extremely
strongly against abortion. Reagan has always been against it, I
would think, but I've never heard any strong statements on the
subject before. I know abortion is a taboo subject
here and I don't want to generate discussion on the rights
and wrongs of abortion. But I would like to know how people
feel this will effect Mr. Reagan's standing in the polls.
Do you think this will become a re-election issue? With so
much else happening, will it even be noticed? And will this
further offend women voters, who already don't support him
very strongly. A lot of folks are saying that women are going
to make a much larger percentage of the voting public in the
next presidential election.
