...dissent in the 1991 abortion rights case, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. He supported a law that mandated that wives receive their husbands’ permission to seek abortions.

Those in charge of running state elections say that this is practically unfeasible and that the narrow timeframe is reason enough to reject the proposition (a Los Angeles Times poll has predicted its rejection as well).

But in answer to a question about al-Zarqawi's call for violence against Shi'ites in Iraq, he said, "Any decision that leads to the killing of innocents is something that we reject." Comparing his answer rejecting the use of violence to the one about the necessity of doing "certain things" makes me wonder what Ahmadinejad truly believes. Steve Brown Johannesburg...
