Harry Reid is pro-life. I'd say he's gotten pretty far. Same with Bob Casey, Brad Ellsworth, Charles Melancon, and many more.

Of course Goldberg can't say that. Nobody can, but it seems to be true anyhow.

And my Republican representative, Mary Bono Mack, is pro-choice. I can accept that, and so can most of my district. But in most of this country, she'd be pilloried by Republicans as a baby killer.

Many or most Democrats were conservatives back then. This isn't about political parties.
