...endangered the life of the mother. Bush would add rape and incest to the circumstances under which abortions could lawfully be performed. Inescapably, Bush is linked to the actions of President Reagan, who has consistently opposed abortion.

Paul Brown, chief executive officer of the American Life League, a smaller antiabortion group, implicitly conveyed the passions that the issue arouses.
