Who's to say that there is any more support for Freud's psychoanalytic concept of the superego than there is for that old time religion that asserted that there is a God who ordains what is right and wrong, and that His righteousness endures for all generations?

The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media.

In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion.
