Killer! Killer! In Congress, the issue cuts confusingly across ideological lines, making it difficult for many liberals from areas with strong Catholic enclaves to vote for abortion. Whatever his own feelings, any legislator in a swing district hesitates to arouse the anger of such an uncompromising group as the antiabortionists. Their attack can be so personal that New Jersey Congressman Andy Maguire was actually chased through his office building by lobbyists screaming "Killer! Killer!"

News of the mission was received by many Rhodesian whites with satisfaction; successful or not, the raid was a way of venting their frustrations at living for so long with uncertainty and terror. The international response was anger and outrage. Washington publicly denounced both Smith's government and the raid into Mozambique as illegal. To emphasize the point, South Africa's ambassador to Washington, Donald Sole (who represents Rhodesia's interests), was informed of the Administration's displeasure by National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. Britain also sent Smith a stern message, and the two countries began...
