David Brooks Urges Fellow Democrats to ‘Rethink’ Extreme Abortion Position

The New York Times columnist David Brooks writes in a “memo” to Democratic Party leaders that their support for abortion on demand up until birth is hurting their party.

Pointing out the failure of the Senate to muster 60 votes to protect unborn babies from abortion past the fifth month of pregnancy, Brooks notes, “I kept wondering: How much is our position on late-term abortions hurting us?”

Taking his readers back through time before Roe v. Wade, when the Supreme Court created a right to abortion – though, as Alan Dershowitz has noted, none ever existed in the Constitution – Brooks observes that some right to life groups, including the National Catholic Welfare Conference, once also embraced progressive causes, such as a “right to collective bargaining.”

Roe v. Wade, however, polarized the abortion debate, Brooks writes, as the pro-life movement gained momentum.

“Without pro-life voters, Ronald Reagan never would have been elected,” he explains. “Without single-issue voters who wanted pro-life judges, there would never have been a President Donald Trump.

David Brooks used to be the “House Republican” at the New York Times and the “Go To Conservative” on PBS News Hour.

Has he publicly switched parties?

In the posted excerpt, Brooks refers to “our position” when he is talking about the Democrats.

Anyone who has seen modern sonogram images of babies in the womb and still supports abortion on demand is pure evil.

[ScholarWarrior]

Because he is a liar.

Abortion needs to be banned from conception forward and the courts prohibited from ruling on it.

That depends on who rules the future and writes the history books.

Kudos for him, if he’s openly admitting to being a Democrat. No more deception. Trump forced him into the open.
