WASHINGTON—Rudy Giuliani didn’t score many points with social conservatives last week when he issued this impassioned endorsement of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a federal ban on “partial-birth” abortion: “I agree with it.” He certainly didn’t win over Richard Land, who has said he would never vote for Mr. Giuliani. When people ask the Southern Baptist Convention’s representative in Washington why the former New York mayor’s promise to appoint strict constructionist judges if he’s elected president isn’t enough, Mr. Land replies: “If he’ll lie to two wives, what makes you think he wouldn’t lie to you?”
Mr. Land might, on the other hand, vote for Mitt Romney. He says that evangelical voters may be able to get over their problems with a Mormon. “Charitably speaking,” Mr. Land says, “they would call [Mormonism] the fourth Abrahamic religion. When they’re less charitable, they would call it a cult.” And they might even let him off the hook for his flip-flops on the social issues. “A lot of people in this country who are pro-life didn’t used to be.”

TIME Mag: Giuliani Family Values
Richard Land, the Southern Baptists’ ambassador to the very earthly kingdom of politics and policy (his official title is President of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination) is a diplomat and an affable character, so when he speaks plainly the words carry weight. And his salvos launched at Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani were the warning shots in the evangelical primary: who has the strongest claim to the hearts and minds of the G.O.P. base?

Cheerleading for Divorce
Socially irresponsible reporting.
By Jennifer Roback Morse
“51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse,” the New York Times trumpeted last week. Is this something to celebrate, as the paper of record seemed to do? And more importantly, is it even true?
There is certainly a trend away from marriage, but the numbers reported by the New York Times are deliberately misleading.
These data come from the American Community Survey for 2005, whose website is here. If you go directly to the simplest table, S1201, you will find, contra the NYT, that 51 percent of women are married. (Run your eye down the first column to the row which lists “females.” Scoot over to “Now married, (except separated).”) Voila! 51 percent of women are now married.
