...Women run on women's issues, like abortion," says Sharon Rodine, president of the National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC). "It's the way in." As a rule, they don't cross over to the male power center once elected. For example, a solid majority of women in the Congress stood behind Democratic Representative Barbara Boxer of California in 1989 when she took on Illinois' powerful Henry Hyde in an attempt to restore Medicaid funds to pay for abortions for victims of rape or incest.

The L.D.P. has a solid majority in the Lower House, but the opposition holds a razor-thin advantage in the upper chamber. Kaifu and his colleagues are trying to convince doubters that the bill provides safeguards against abuse, though politicians are weary and the public is skeptical. The choice is difficult. If Japan decides not to send troops, it risks being accused by its allies of hiding behind the constitution to avoid global responsibilities. If it does dispatch soldiers, it could provoke dark visions...
