The Clintons tried this with the false “legal, safe, and rare” minor back-pedal that the left ditched quickly in a quiet backlash whereby the left’s real stance is “abortion on demand” and infanticide for botched late term abortions.

“We have to be manipulative chameleons.”

Their current alliance of the aggrieved isn’t quite big enough.

So Brooks only cares about getting votes, rather than their support for murdering babies. He’s no better than the rest of the Democrats.

Didn’t Schumer and another Congress member HIGH FIVE the blocking of the 20 week ban?

Problem is that the Republicans are horrible at messaging on this issue.

All they have to do is call themselves pro-choice, in favor of states rights: That the abortion issue should be taken away from the Feds and returned to the states as it was before 1973.

Do this, and remove the tax dollars from abortion and it will kill the Dems

So abortion up to 9 months wrong, not because it’s cruel, evil and inhuman, but because it’s hurting them politically. These people have no heart or compassion.

Wait. I thought Brooks is the ‘conservative’ columnist at the NYT? Here he refers the the democrats position as ‘our’ position. How can that be the case?

"“I kept wondering: How much is our position on late-term abortions hurting us?” "

Typical dimmanazi attitude- Absolutely no concern for the life of the murdered, chopped-up and sold unborn, no concern for the soul of the murdering mommie, nothing else matters except "how many votes will this cost my side?" Says it all.

I do believe that Roe v. Wade will end up in the history books right next to the Dred Scott decision, a horrible pockmark where the court declared some people as being somehow less than human and thus entitled to no rights that was never accepted, and led to endless civil discord until overturned.

When did Brooks become a Democrat? I thought he was (just barely) a Republican.

This is 56-year old David Brooks..she is NOT his daughter, that's his former research assistant/new 33-year old wife.

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.

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