Would a President Gingrich Ban the Birth Control Pill?

I think Dr. Hsieh is over-reacting. President George W. Bush was a solid pro-lifer but he didn’t get abortion outlawed or even limited.

Even if Speaker Gingrich wins the presidency and the Republicans manage to win a majority in both houses of Congress, I’m still not sure they could pull together enough votes to actually overcome Roe v. Wade. I don’t think they could get it past the Supreme Court and I don’t think the move would be popular with most people.

While I consider myself a fiscal conservative, I am more moderate in social matters. I am pro-choice.
