The Dead Baby That Just Won't Die

Giuliani is having one hell of a time beating back all those pro-lifers in the Republican party. That's not surprising, although it seems to be for Giuliani's campaign. Despite a massive amount of time to formulate a palatable response to the abortion question, they're failing pretty miserably at this point.

In a somewhat ironic (perhaps intentionally, it is the New York Times after all), the NY liberals brought up the issue in a recent story:

Abortion Rises Anew for Giuliani


Am I the only one that sees the pun there? Maybe not, at least I hope not, because I chuckled and I've got to believe it was calculated.

Still, it raises a valid question: how is Rudy going to get past the dead baby problem? As the campaign has continued, the issue has become a hanger in the side for the Republican hopeful, and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon. If things continue as they are now, he may be forced to, well, abort.
