Miers: Extreme End Of Pro-Life?

"...a former campaign manager says she [Miers
opposed abortion rights while running for Dallas City
Council in 1989."

"She is on the extreme end of the anti-choice movement," said Lorlee Bartos, who managed Miers' first and only political campaign and said they discussed abortion once during the race.

"I think Harriet's belief was pretty strongly felt," Bartos said Monday. "I suspect she is of the same cloth as the president."

"Bartos said Miers told her she was "pro-choice in her youth" but underwent "a born-again, profound experience" that caused her to oppose abortion."

Chuck Schumer, et al, are gonna love this, but will Sam Brownback?

Those critical of Miers' nomination may get the ideological battle they crave, after all.
