When the Best Choice is No Choice

I posted earlier about the criticism NARAL’s goten for bucking the "just get democrats elected" strategy. For what it’s worth, it seems they’re sticking to their guns on this one by refusing to endorse a candidate in the Virginia governor’s race.

A leading abortion-rights group will not endorse any candidate for Virginia governor, citing concerns the main contenders both accept limits to abortion.

The Democrat, Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine, said he would not work to outlaw abortion but supports "appropriate and reasonable checks" on it. Republican Jerry Kilgore, a former attorney general, opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.

NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia executive director Ann O’Hanlon said the group could not endorse Kaine because he embraces many restrictions that the group opposes, including parental consent and a ban on a procedure that abortion opponents call "partial-birth abortion."

Here’s a question. What do you do when the best choice is "none of the above"? Is the best choice, sometimes, to simply not choose?
