[quote=jsteele]Abortion can be approached two ways: 1) as an issue of values. Some people consider abortion to be murder and therefore are compelled to prohibit it. Others consider this an issue of privacy and rights for women and support abortion rights. For both groups, this is a matter of right and wrong. 2) as a political issue which which can be supported or opposed by various political strategies and can be used itself as part of a political strategy to motivate voters. The Arizona ruling showed where these two approaches to abortion clash. The ruling is great for the pro-life values crowd, but politically it is very dangerous because it is far out of the mainstream. As such, it is a gift to Democrats and puts Republicans in a difficult position of trying to thread the needle of supporting prohibitions on abortion, but just not this prohibition. [/quote]
