George's Invitation

I'm all for taking on sacred cows, but I don't understand the inability of many conservatives to simply acknowledge the evil of this administration's policies with respect to torture without bringing up abortion.

Prof. George would surely admit that the multiplication of issues he proposes would needlessly dilute the force of the truth he welcomes speaking to this administration about the evils of its torture policies.  So I have a somewhat different invitation, which I offer as a friendly ammendment:  Why don't we sign a joint statement (now) condemning in the strongest possible terms the torture practiced by this administration (which was, after all, the topic of Michael's post), and when  Democrats control ANY branch of the government or have any appreciable influence on national abortion policy, we can sign a joint statement about abortion?
