While we may differ on the Right To Life/Women's Rights issue, I think one thing is for sure...we all should now realize that it makes little difference on which party is in the majority in the Congress. The people elected, even the new ones, are far more interested in their own re-election and satisfying the needs of those who finance them, than they are in responsibly governing this country.

Personally, I think there's a place for honest debate and legislation on Right To Life/Women's rights in either Washington or in the states. But I emphatically disagree that an argument over such an issue, justified because a miniscule amount of the federal budget is spent on it, should be used to hold up and confuse desperately needed discussion, debate and votes on the broken fiscal policies of the country.

It's like an argument over whether they're out of pretzels when the plane is spiraling out of control, headed for a crash.
