The National Post reports that Tom Ridge, one of the likely candidates to be George Bush’s running mate for Vice President is pro-abortion. In an interview with the Inquirer, Mr. Ridge said he would like to see the Republican Party’s pro-life plank either dropped or changed to reflect a broader range of party members’ views on abortion. 

Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura on Friday vetoed a bill giving women informed consent on abortion.  The bill would have given information to women considering abortion and a 24-hour period to reflect on their life or death decision.
