Did Elizabeth Edwards destroy unused embryos?
This is a touchy subject: I am surprised Slate addresses this topic. Compare this invasion of the personal sphere with Kerry and Edwards making Mary Cheney's sexuality a political attack (though they deny hostile intent) to energize their base (or depress the Republican base) and the complete silence of the Bush/ Cheney camp on this issue —which could, as the author points out, energize the Republican base.
One side has discretion, the other doesn't.
