Jonah you are either pregnant or your not, get with the program.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Ummm…

Nope.

[AmericanMermaid]

Jonah Goldberg? The make-believe conservative?

[TruthWillWin]

Not going to make “Trixie” proud!

[a fool in paradise]

Can you be openly critical of pro-lifers and still claim to be pro-CHOICE?

Margaret Sanger wasn't pro-choice. She demanded a moratorium on babies for a period of ten years, damn the consequences if some woman thought she wanted to have a baby. Abortion is about control. It isn't freedom or liberating.

[2ndDivisionVet]

They have a word for that: Bush family member.

[Lurker]

“Popular Republican journalist Jonah Goldberg angered his base Wednesday by claiming people can be conservative and support abortion.“

No Jonah, they can’t.

[TakebackGOP]

I agree with him, but Jonah is not a conservative.

[Fungi]

Is that similar to being a vocal, proud homosexual and claiming to be a Christian?? Guy B., that is you.....

[Equine1952]

Jonah has a base? Bullshite.

[Lurker]

“Jonah has a base?”

Well, there is his mom.

[MtnClimber]

What about late-term abortions? And how late is too late? What about 50 years or 60 years or no limit?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Well why not? I read here at FR tonight that there is a Society of Virgins consecrated to God that doesn't really require virginity. Pro-abortion conservatives? Hey, in the words of Cole Porter, Anything Goes.

I don’t support abortion. I just don’t go against it. The unity of Republican Party is the most important to our country. I think illegal immigration and border security should be THE MOST IMPORTANT issue all the time

[vladimir998]

Okay, Jonah, let’s play your game.

You said... “Honestly, I think you can support abortion and still be a conservative. I just have a problem when you’re stupid about it or use left wing arguments for it — or both.”

So that would mean... “Honestly, I think you can support the Holocaust and still be a conservative. I just have a problem when you’re stupid about it or use left wing arguments for it — or both.”

[vladimir998]

“I don’t support abortion. I just don’t go against it.”

That means you support it and pretend you don’t. And you pretend you don’t in order to salve your conscience. That’s pretty pathetic.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Why preface it with the word “honestly”. Reminds me of when someone says “To tell you the truth...”. That usually means a lie is coming.

[jospehm20]

George Will agrees.

[TBP]

It’s true that conservatism is diverse and there are many issues on which we disagree among ourselves. But there are a few central principles that unite us as conservatives, and defending life and the defenseless is a central one.

[Shortstop7]

Exactly. Jonah, Kristol and Lowry are nothing but fakes. Oh, and add Hayes to that list.
