Her abortion was granted. CNN reports:

There was no other legal option.
It drives me mad how the governor of my state constantly attempts to break the law using DCF as a weapon.
He never gets away with it but he constantly tries to promote his BS with the tools of his position.

I was wondering when someone was going to pull their head out.

How can you argue that someone is not old enough to decide whether or not to have a baby, and in the same breath say that they are old enough to have a baby? :banghead3 I guess you would have to be a lawyer/politician to say such a thing with a straight face.

Jeb still wins. He was brilliant little Christian soldier. He didn't need to stop the abortion. He just needed to present the idea that his ideas were congruent with the Christian coalition and the other anti-abortion Christians groups in the USA that vote. Can you say Jeb Bush in 2008?

Good point. Poor Jeb, getting beat up on by the ACLU again. :sarcastic

An excellent point by Robtex. In my opinion, this charade of superior morality will eventually wear thin. Sooner or later, the majority of the Christian voting block in this country will come to see the Rove/Bush spin machine for what it is. The use of smoke and mirrors to take the focus of voters away from the important issues and put it on "moral and family value" issues will eventually lose it's ability to fool people.

Without doubt, there are people that agree with the Republican party on the important issues (i.e. economy, war in Iraq, etc.), but there are not enough of them to continue to carry the day. That is why they pander to the religious right, to augment that block of voters that form the backbone of their party.

I think that there are many people that are already beginning to see this shell game for what it is.

This too, shall pass.

I just wish the "passing" was not more painful than a kidney stone

That's brilliant, Rob. I think you're right on, as usual.
