I have to agree that there was no better choice. Bush had a lot of
help with category 2, help from Republican idiots who should have
known better. No argument with category 3, either.

As regards number 1, this is not a criteria for me in choosing a
President. I abhor abortion, but I do not want my government involved
pro or con. As a person who cannot become pregnant, I have no right to
tell a woman what she should do or not do when pregnant. For me, the
right of a woman to control her own body is absolute. Education is the
answer.
