- I have heard mixed messages about how Bush feels about the platform. He
- may have reaffirmed his support for abortions in cases of rape, incest
- or mother's health. On the other hand, I've heard it said that he
- explicitly endorses the _entire_ platform as written; including the call
- for a fence along the Mexican border.

-
- The Democrats do not endorse unrestricted abortion on demand throughout
- the term of pregnancy; they endorse the tenets of Roe vs. Wade, and
- support the passage of the Freedom of Choice Act.
-
- You are lying again, Doug. It has been shown over and over again that
- Roe vs. Wade does not affirm the right to unrestricted abortion on demand
- throughout the term of pregnancy.
-
- The more you lie, the more impotent your arguments become.
