I said you could add a smiley to my original post - that was to indicate the humourous aspect of my comment.

About 25-30 seconds into the above linked youtube video - that's why I included the footnote ;^) (that smiley is a smirk, becuase I'm being a bit of a smart-a$$. Sorry, I couldn't help myself...)

Uhm, his church is pro-life, except in *extreme* situations (rape, incest), and even then they would prefer that the child be offered to live with other parents, but they feel that Abortion is an option in such cases. AFAIK Harry Reid's position is similar, but may contain slight variations (my interest is his *actual* position is limited, since it is all but impossible for me to ever vote for or against him, as I do not live in his state of Nevada).

If you endure the entire youtube posting (above), and skip over the *nasty, illogical Republicans* bits, you should be able to sus out his actual position.
