Rhymes with 'shmashmortion' - Politico.com

I'd say we're winning the debate on abortion. Here's an interesting movie review about the movie Knocked Up asserting that it has a pro-life slant . . . whatever. {"Rhymes with 'shmashmortion'" - Politico.com). For the record, it does seem to be poignant and it is somewhat refreshing to see (from the review and the trailer) that this movie might be somewhat accurate in its treatment of abortion. But the ironic thing about the review is how irritated the author seems to be that others aren't as comfortable with the tragic act of abortion as she is. And she seems to imply that all these uncomfortable people are somehow hypocritical.

Frankly, a majority of Americans are anti-abortion. But the tough thing about this reality is that candidates know this as well, and it is difficult for voters who are more than simply uncomfortable with the "procedure" to discern a candidate's views when most of said candidates claim to be "pro-life." I suppose many politicians of past generations were "uncomfortable" with racial apartheid in America. So what? We needed someone that would lead Americans to do what was right, not someone who wanted to tickle the ears of voters.
