Ellen Goodman's take on the late term abortion bill signing

[spooky3]

"BOSTON -- Maybe this picture isn't worth a thousand words. That honor probably belongs to the flight deck portrait of the president under the sign "Mission Accomplished." Maybe the presidential photo op now flying around the Internet and soon to be available on your local T-shirt is only worth 750 words.

The picture shows the president surrounded by an all-male chorus line of legislators as he signs the first ban on an abortion procedure. It's a single-sex class photo of men making laws governing something they will never have: a womb.

This was not just a strategic misstep, a rare Karl Rove lapse. It perfectly reflected the truth of the so-called partial-birth abortion law. What's wrong with this picture?..."

1. I don't think it was a "rare Karl Rove lapse"

Rove knew g.d. well what he was doing: sending a message to women - ALL WOMEN - about who is in charge.
