Being CNN journalism, it\u2019s hard to tell for sure. But reading carefully \u2014 sometimes between the lines \u2014 it seems to be ultimately good news<\/a>. All the usual \u201cwar on women\u201d tactics aren\u2019t working like they used to. Even the rabidly pro-abortion candidates have had to town it down and instead focus on economic issues. <\/p>\nCNN\u2019s take, of course, is that it is because Republicans are better at selling their revised snake oil. But they seem to be ignoring the obvious: In an age of 3D ultrasounds and genetic mapping, insisting that an unborn child isn\u2019t a living person is so blatantly stupid that even our sex-obsessed culture is starting to catch on.<\/p>\n
In short: We\u2019re winning. We haven\u2019t won yet, but this particular battle is trending in our direction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
