Do you think...


that abortion is split between party lines, and if so, why? Do you believe that the abortion issue will be a major factor in the 2008 elections?

Here is a snippet of an article:

Among Republicans, there has been less unease about efforts to project moderation, in part because abortion opponents feel secure that Bush is on their side. Though Giuliani leads in polls for the 2008 nomination, they believe the issue remains such a powerful litmus test that the GOP wouldn't nominate a presidential candidate who supports abortion rights.

"It's unlikely," says Gary Bauer, president of a conservative group called American Values.

On the other side, advocates like Malcolm are equally certain Democrats wouldn't nominate a candidate who opposes abortion rights.

Even so, there is sensitivity about riling activists who are important organizers and donors in each party. When Mehlman, Bush's campaign manager in 2004, was elected national Republican chairman in January, he chose as co-chairman Jo Ann Davidson, a former speaker of the Ohio House who has been a member of the advisory board of Republicans for Choice since it was founded in 1990. But she declines to discuss the issue with reporters.
