It used to be that Democratic politicians claimed to be personally pro-life, but politically pro-choice. This attempt to straddle the gap between respect for human life and the need to garner votes from those favoring easy access to abortion is no longer tolerated.
Contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) demands that “as a party, we should be 100 percent pro-choice, and it should be non-negotiable.” Rival contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt) is campaigning to oust sitting Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski (Ill), contending that Lipinski’s non-conformity on the issue is “a disturbing moment in our history.”
Former Vice-President Joe Biden, the current leader in polls of Democrat voters’ on who they support for president, reversed his previous stance against requiring taxpayers to fund abortions. “I used to think that it would be wrong to force persons who believe that abortion takes a human life to have to pay for what they consider murder,” Biden confessed. “Now I realize that it is wrong to permit a person’s individual perspective on morality to interfere with the conduct of public policy. The progressive view places the collective benefit to society ahead of any personal objections. This progressive view supports the right of every woman to terminate her unwanted child. While this theoretically could be accomplished via voluntary donations, relying on strictly voluntary funding sends the wrong message. It is the duty of every member of society to contribute funds to support the rights that the government has decided each person deserves.”
In related news, U.N. Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Kate Gilmore called laws restricting access to abortion “extremist hate. Barring a woman from having a doctor tear her unwanted baby limb-from-limb is clearly torture and a deprivation of her right to health.” She lamented the fact that “the UN has no plausible means of interdicting the rogue actions of wayward US political subdivisions,” but expressed hope that “moral pressure could lead to the sort of spiritual awakening necessary for subduing such pernicious opposition.”

This article is so laced with fact, I’m not even seeing the satirical part.
