Abortion debate

Haven't posted anything lately about the abortion debate. With a sotto voce conflict thinly hidden by code/smoke/mirrors/inference/deception/whatever -- thanks to the Miers nomination, I figure it's time to stir the pudding a bit.

Worth a reprint:

You can want to restrict abortions. You can want to restrict contraceptive use. You can want to severely restrict welfare. But you can only want two out of the three of those things simultaneously unless you are an uncaring bastard.
