I knew someone was going to take it that way. I meant it purely in polling/electoral terms. I think the right to free abortion with no questions asked is fundamental to the liberation and equality of women. In that sense it's profoundly a women's issue.
George Gilder, incidentally, understood this very well. I don't have the quotes at hand, but he's very explicit on how the right to abortion puts women in control of the reproductive process, which undermines the authority of men.
