Partial Birth Act Upheld

[Earl Maltz]

I am perfectly willing to believe that support for the pro-life position is 
correlated with conservative policies generally--with all that entails.  My 
problems is with those a) treat supporters of the pro-life position as a 
monolith for other purposes and/or b) conflate political views with the 
ways in which people conduct themselves generally.
