I don't usually steal stories from Best of the Web, assuming that you all would have already read them their. This story on a new Nicaraguan ban on all abortions, even when the actual health of the mother is threatened, is too delicious to ignore:
Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega, who was a supporter of abortion rights as a young revolutionary, has said he has become a devout Roman Catholic and now opposes abortion.So now Kerry and Harkin are figuratively, as well as literally, to the left of Ortega.
Ortega's socialist government of the 1980s had a contentious relationship with the Catholic church, but Ortega recently has established warm ties with leading church figures in Nicaragua.
