Abortion Party

Can any good come of this phrase?

Depending upon your view of the world, abortion is at worst the murder of an innocent life, at best an inconvenient necessity. Either way, it makes for lousy conversation at weddings.

But here we can at least take notice of some correlation between political party and abortion.

The good news is that there's a web site to give some comparison between all presidential candidates on key issues. It's an instant Hidden Blog favorite.

And here for good measure is a web site with interesting abortion facts:

According to studies that I researched for several seconds, and fact-checked non-existently, there were 1.37 million abortions in America in 1996. In 2000, there were 2.4 million American deaths, led by heart disease at 0.7 million. So if abortion costs $500 on average, then it can be described as the #1 killer of Americans and a billion dollar industry. No wonder it's such an emotional issue!

Fortunately, a solution has been found:
