Members of Congress and women's groups are asking long-time Bush adviser Karen Hughes to apologize for remarks they say "liken abortion rights advocates to those in the 'terror network'." As hundreds of thousands rallied for reproductive rights in Washington DC on Sunday, Hughes told CNN: "I think that after September 11, the American people are valuing life more and realizing that we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every life... particularly at a time when we're facing an enemy, and really the fundamental difference between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life." Women's groups are changing their message and tactics, reports the Wall Street Journal: "To counter abortion foes' use of the pulpit, they are mining college campuses for grass-roots organizational heft."
