Opposition to President Bush’s nomination of former Mississippi Court of Appeals Judge Leslie Southwick to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has drawn basically the same opponents as did the failed nominations of Judge Charles Pickering and Jackson attorney Mike Wallace.

But that was a political smokescreen. The opposition by these national activists is all about abortion.
