I am not at all a fan of Senator McCain’s legislation, and particularly its provision regulating the financing of advertisements in the last months of a campaign. (It was that provision that led Senator McCain to fight with pro-life organizations, among others.) But the overall impact of the legislation on pro-lifers seems to me to be mixed, and maybe even positive. In both parties, the big-money donors have been more pro-choice than the party rank-and-file. It may not be a coincidence that the Republicans have become more pro-life, and the Democrats a tiny bit more receptive to pro-lifers, since the crackdown on soft money.
