Will Mr. Webb defeat Mr. Allen? Most people think not. He supports Roe v. Wade, etc., but should that be enough to disqualify from office, if he was pushing for decentralization, American jobs, a sane foreign policy, fiscal responsibility, and so on?
Abortion Foe Allen Faulted for Stock in Morning-After Pill Maker

RICHMOND, Aug. 8 -- A leading conservative antiabortion group has joined Democrat James Webb in criticizing Republican Sen. George Allen for opposing abortion while owning stock in the manufacturer of the morning-after pill.
Chris Freund, policy director for the Family Foundation in Richmond, said social conservatives should be troubled by Allen's investment in Barr Laboratories Inc., maker of the pill, Plan B.
"Given his pro-life record, I think pro-life Virginians would be very confused by this decision to invest in the only producer of the morning-after pill," Freund said. "I think the issue of the morning-after pill really goes to the heart of the abortion debate, and for a lot of pro-life Virginians, this is the issue of the day."
