Texas Gov. George W. Bush (R) stumbled into the abortion mine field Monday after granting rare individual interviews to reporters from national media outlets. Although he said he would favor a constitutional amendment outlawing most abortions, abortion foes criticized the likely presidential candidate for taking a soft stance on the issue.
"America is not ready to overturn Roe v. Wade because America's hearts are not right."
