Nancy Keenan, president of Naral Pro-Choice America: "It's time for Democrats to stop playing the defensive role on this issue and of doing a better job of showing how extreme the other side really is."
She actually believes that, doesn't she?
It's not Democratic leaders who will change their party on this issue. It's the public, continuing to reject politicians who seem not even to get queasy at the idea of murdering a five month old fetus. Political leaders are, above all else, opportunists. If we keep making the moral case to the public, Democratic "leaders" will follow suit.
Remember, they're changing their tune as a means of getting lost power back not in the pursuit of upholding principles. Principles and Democrats ought never to be used in the same sentence.
