Definitely not a new narrative. And it predates the modern push for abortion. "It's not a person, it's a clump of cells" is just like the old "It's not a person, it's property." It may be hard to believe, but before the Civil War, the Dims actually fought for private property rights.
Only if that “property” happened to be a slave. Beyond that, they didn’t give a damn. The Democrats have always been evil.
