If an unborn is a human life, then Condi missed the point about abortion. No one who believes that life starts in the womb could dare argue "I don't want the government forcing its views" or "I'm a libertarian on this issue."
If an unborn is NOT a human life, then obviously there is nothing immoral about abortion. In this case, there is no need to invoke the "I'm a libertarian" excuse or to describe abortion as an "extremely difficult moral issue" which she approaches as "a deeply religious person."
Either it is or is not a human life. If it is a life, then obviously that life is worth government intervention to protect. If it is not a life, then "morals" or "deep religion" have nothing to do with it.
Her arguments are a red herring, and she has lost my vote.
