I am not talking about the circumstances. He said it was not a priority and it was "too controversial". That is weak. > not waste valuable limited political resources on abortion, which already was protected It was not protected, as we now see.

The act of getting an abortion was protected federally, as in people (providers and patients) were protected from state governments charging them with crimes. The circumstances were that it was not a priority. It would have been stupid to waste the political will that was used to pass massive healthcare reform for something (overturning of roe v wade) that may or may not have occurred in the future. I have no idea why anyone would take issue with actions and priorities taken in 2009 based on information available in 2009.
