Abortion Debate Intensifies, Awaits Nominee, Tuesday, By Amy Harder, May 19, 2009
Abortion has re-emerged as a hot issue, and if history is any indication, it will get even hotter when President Obama makes his Supreme Court nomination.Obama -- who first spoke out for a nominee with "empathy" before a Planned Parenthood audience in 2007 -- rekindled conservatives' wariness over the weekend with his speech at the University of Notre Dame, calling for "fair-minded" dialogue and "common ground."
