Pres. Bush's judicial choices (barring the Meiers debacle, which boggles the mind) are all stout respecters of the constitution, having no truck with penumbras and emmanations.
So long as an unlimited right to an abortion, even a very late term one (which is an atrocity) is enshrined by the U.S. Constitution, no politican of any party can pass a law banning it.
To the extent that Republican governors and Presidents continue to propose judges who respect the U.S. Constitution, the Republican Party can be said to be "owned" by the far-right (i.e. the anti-abortion rights crowd). Because only then can Roe v. Wade be successfuly challenged by a Republican lawmaker.
To my shame, I am more exercised by the mutilation of our Constitution than I am by the culture of death. But there you are.
