More Reason For Optimism at Harvard.(abortion politics)
Pro-lifers can sometimes find reason for optimism in the most unusual places. Take, for instance, a forum recently hosted by Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government that discussed "The Politics of Abortion."
Though the event was held at a campus where sentiment for legalized abortion is strong, pro-life students from around Boston turned out in large numbers. Even more important, some of the pro-abortion panelists conceded that the pro-life position was gaining in public support and making considerable inroads among young people.
The panel featured two former congressmen. The first was Kentucky Democrat Romano Mazzoli, a pro-life congressman from a pro-abortion party. The second was Kansas Democrat Dan Glickman, a pro-abortion congressman from a largely pro-life state. NRLC's political director Carol Tobias and NARAL president Kate Michelman also addressed the audience.
Mr. Mazzoli spoke first. The 12-term congressman said the abortion issue is always "vexing, meddlesome, and difficult."
He said it was a struggle to be a pro-life congressman in the Democratic Party. Mazzoli said it was a shame to know he could never be elected President because he would fail his party's "pro-choice" litmus test.
Mazzoli concluded his remarks by saying, "As Kermit the Frog said, it is not easy being green," alluding to his minority status within the Democratic Party. "But sometimes you have to be green, you have to do what you think is right." He added, "I had to be honest to myself...honest to my constituents."
Glickman now serves as director of the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. For 18 years he was a pro-abortion congressman from Kansas, where there is a considerable pro-life sentiment.
