Obama on Monday nominated Sebelius to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Cabinet nominations require Senate confirmation, and anti-abortion groups already are making their views known.
Analysts suspected that Obama would face a battle over abortion if and when he makes a nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, but religious conservatives could use Sebelius as a warm-up for the seemingly inevitable fight.

My thoughts on the whole abortion issue? Easy! It's a No-Brainer! Don't believe in abortion? DON'T HAVE ONE! What is so difficult about that?
I value life, and seriously doubt I would ever have chosen to abort a pregnancy. However, I believe in CHOICE! Leave that difficult decision to those who face it.
Plain and simple, the Church, whether it is Catholic, Baptist, Methodist or any other flavor, needs to just BUTT OUT of government and lawmaking!
GRRRRR!

Kathleen is great.. she should do very well.. I live next door to Kansas and know of her very well. She has a wonderful reputation and is known for her work across party lines and to do the heavy work.
She is fair and shouldn't have a problem.. I think the media is just trying to make a problem. Sen. Brownback one of the loudest people who holler about abortions is backing her, so I don't see any problem with it.. I think it is just them trying to stir up readership...lol
Next door to KS...ahhhh, MO! Yes!
I am originally from next door to MO...southern Illinois, St Louis Metro-East area.
I think Kathleen is an excellent choice, and will do well. You're probably right about their attempt to increase readership, LOL!
