...particularly that most inflamed social issue, abortion. How can libertarian baby boomers raised on the Pill and Fundamentalists raised on the Seventh Commandment stay under the same tent? Probably more easily than anyone suspects. The fight for blanket antiabortion legislation will be bruising, and many purely economic conservatives will want no part of it. But the question of Government funding of abortions unites laissez-faire and Old Testament moralists alike. Many other social issues, such as day care, lend themselves to similar cross-cultural anti-Government alliances. Junk-bond dealers and snake handlers agree in wanting Washington out of their...

Wattleton had long maintained that a silent majority of American women did not want anyone tampering with their reproductive freedom. "Now the majority is getting noisy," she says. Witness the recent national Mobilization for Women's Lives and the elections in New Jersey and Virginia in which voters selected pro-choice Governors. Wattleton asserts that she does not want her teenage daughter to be fighting the same battles she is. To that end, this woman who looks like...
