...Those same Republican candidates have also traditionally benefited from the Democratic handling of the abortion issue. In 2004, the Republican National Convention featured keynote speeches by pro-choice politicians on three out of the four nights. By contrast, Democrats kept a pro-life minister off their stage and most Democratic speakers voiced their commitment to a woman's right to choose, while uttering not a word about supporting policies that would prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place...
...source of generational discord is pornography. Schwarzer initiated the PorNo campaign in 1987 to fight for a ban on porn. Roche, by contrast, says "I get a lot out of good porn," and calls traditional feminism "joyless." Somewhere in the middle stands Ariadne von Schirach, author of the book Der Tanz um die Lust (The Dance Around Lust), who decries "the pornographization of society" and wants to free female sexuality from the pressures of a world where easily consumable porn is supplanting eroticism.

Brown, by contrast, was buoyed by an early wave of public support after taking over from Tony Blair. Now Brown faces plunging poll ratings and speculation in Westminster about ouster plots. Bush is asserting himself with renewed vigor at home and abroad, but intense interest in the race for the White House provides...
...contrast, organized opposition was led by an unlikely alliance of pacifists, anti-abortionists, traditional nationalists, Marxists and free marketeers. They were greatly aided by the form of the treaty itself - 346 pages of turgid text on the minutiae of Europe's institutional machinery, with no grand project, such as the euro or eastern enlargement, to capture the public's imagination. Many voters said they simply did not understand what they were voting on. At the same time, the "no" campaigners played on public ignorance to raise fears about alleged threats to sovereignty and the Irish way of life in everything...
