Oh definitely yes on the women's "health" especially. I was reading something that pointed out that it's an answer that sort of implies he thinks he's talking to people who already agree with him. I know a lot of people don't accept things like Obama was saying, where he was trying to focus on the common ground of preventing unwanted pregnancies, but he didn't start out with some crack about, say, right to "life" people who kill doctors or something like that. He acknowledged that people felt strongly about the issue on both sides.

Where as McCain's "health" statement would probably more appeal to people who assume that that's just a way the other side tries to trick people into giving everybody easy late-term abortions. As if nobody who's right-to-life could believe a woman's health is an important consideration.

LOL! William Powell and Grandpa Simpson--perfect! I think I've seen some references to Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd too.
