The latest headlines in the unending abortion debate come from the draft 2008 Democratic Party platform statement on abortion, which some think incorporates more pro-life language than in past years. Get Religion gives some fine background to the politics behind the language change, as well as a discussion of one earlier author's attempt to sketch out a moral and moderate abortion position, modelled on Lincoln's initial "principled yet pragmatic" position on slavery. This issue will get plenty of attention in the closing months of this election cycle.
