Amazingly and pathetically, the one value that came out of the recent budget showdown was Obama drawing the line at family planning. When it comes to the abortion part of family planning -- the aspect that gets the most attention -- many Americans feel downright ambivalent, in favor one day, not so sure the next, and all of it dependent on trimester and that sort of thing. Yet in the self-serving leaks coming from the White House, it was abortion where the president made his stand. Abe Lincoln he is not.
