Full Disclosure I am an airline brat. My brother and I spent our youths jetting all over the place, since my father was a customer service supervisor for United Airlines. The old airline employee slogan was Marry me and fly for...
Normally, I wouldn't write this article. The abortion issue is too passionate, and the political landscape too polarized on the issue of abortion for anything that anybody says to make a difference in public opinion. But they're wrong. They're wrong...
