And Quayle might do more than stick his head in the sand while his daughter
commits "murder", too.

Dan Quayle refused to answer the question Larry King asked.  Period.
King asked "Would you support your daughter's decision?"
Quayle answered "I would support my daughter."
Many other people, even several well knwon Liberals in this group,  have
pointed out how silly it is to question Quayle's love for his daughter
and family.

And Quayle took an Oath to uphold, protect, and defend the constitution
of the United States - even those parts he disagrees with.  You are making
accusations that Quayle gives the names of doctors to extremists.  Care
to back that up?

FWIW - I do not question very many peoples' patriotism, not Carter,
not Teddy, not at all.  I do question their policies.  I do not question
Quayle's patriotism, either, nor his devotion to God or his family...

Clearly YOU don't believe it is murder and I do, but there is NOTHING you
could ever say to change my mind and vice-versa.  This is clear of the
entire population who have positions on abortion.  I won't try to dissuade
you of YOUR opinion, but I will continue to point out that the Supreme Court
has no justification in deciding what life is or isn't.

As it stands now, it is only Quayle's OPINION that abortion is murder.  The
law of the land, as determined by the activist Supreme Court of the early
'70s, is something that Quayle would change given his way.  Not given his
way, he has 2 options in this hypothetical case.  He can disown his daughter
or he can give her the support that is totally consistent with his stated
public policy WRT family values.
