Lines: 15 I believe that Ronnie's statement and stand on abortion WILL be noticed (witness the mention in this newsgroup), and that, if anything, it'll work FOR him. However, I hope that other issues might overcome that gut level instinct that most people in America tend to have that if a person is not specifically against abortion, then s/he is FOR abortion (A stand I've NEVER heard ANYBODY take). I think that the buzzword of "abortion" will get tossed around a lot by the Republicans, especially the most conservative ones, in hopes that something so close to so many women's guts (you know what I mean) will dissuade them (the women) from thinking as closely about where the Reagan Administration failed them (again, the women).
