In politics as in the repair shop, the squeaky wheel gets oiled. If pro-lifers are satisfied with a throwaway line in a candidate’s speech, that’s all we’re ever likely to get. - From the article "A Friendly Question for Pro-Life Romney Enthusiasts" by Phil Lawler Another article worth reading from Phil...
