I have a different sort of abortion question. Abortion debates have significantly weakened the left, bringing a good number of working class people into the conservative fold. How much was the abortion issue manufactured? By that I mean, how much did organizations frame the question in such a way that dialogue would be impossible in order to create the divisiveness associated with abortion? Was it merely that better off women could always arrange for abortions well before Roe v. Wade that the issue remained on the back burner? Bill Sokol's wife (Cynthia Golnick???) wrote a book in which she tried to dialogue with both sides. Maybe it has some answers. I sure don't. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chico, CA 95929 530-898-5321 fax 530-898-5901
