Why wouldn't people be pro-abortion? It's just a routine medical procedure involving a useless hunk of flesh. Why wouldn't politically correct-thinking people proudly state "I'm pro-abortion!" [/sarcasm]
And kill her fetus in the process. Dean, you can try to stake out a middle ground on this topic - but, at the end of the day, you cannot have half of an abortion. You either believes it kills a human being, or you engage in dehumanization of the fetus so that a woman exercising her "right" to abortion is not also carrying out a death sentence against a human life, but just having a blob of cells removed from her body.
Typical DEMI. Howie think they need to "talk differently".
Hey Howie how about acting and voting differently for a change. As they say--talk is cheap.
Then he needs to meet my sister. sigh
Sounds like the same "Safe, Legal but Rare" rhetoric they've been using for the last twenty years.
Oh really, Governor Dean? Then how, please, have more than 40-million abortions occurred in America over the past thirty years? Or was that just a politically correct fad?
What a jerk.
Has he forgotten which party he represents? Without its whacko base, the Democrats have nothing.
Emphasis on the word 'talk'.
I guess this speech to the extremely left wing ACLU, where he drew "howls of laughter by mimicking a drug-snorting Rush Limbaugh" and said "Democrats have to learn how to speak from the heart and with respect to Americans who have found more comfort in Republican appeals to their fears about their jobs, health care, schools and national security." is all part of his campaign to appeal to "Red" state voters.
And don't forget, "We need to talk about Christian values and how they're Democratic values," Dean said.
Says, a vertiable "abortion doctor"... after performing many "HITS" himself..
The "Fetus HITMAN" of the democrat party.. and now capo de capo of the abortion MOB..
Kinda gets me all teared up...
"If I could strike the words 'choice' and 'abortion' out of the lexicon of our party, I would,"
and do what, replace them with words like 'freedom' and 'convenience'?
I don't care how you wrap it, they still support it.
Very interesting. The Dems realize they aren't going to win the pro-choice argument because of the the partial birth issue. It's too drastic a medical procedure, and the general public rebels against its grossness.
Also, the Republicans didn't back the Dems into a proproganda corner. That's the blame game again. Like the Dems aren't responsible for their actions.
"We got pushed into a corner by the Republican propaganda machine, forced to debate and defend positions that aren't our positions," he said. "I don't know anybody in America who's pro-abortion."I am surprised that the Dems could figure this out on their own, actually. For decades, the lefties have always hurt their own cause by stupidly insisting on being "for abortion." Whenever this topic came up in a discussion with a left-winger, the first thing I'd tell them was always: "No, you are not for abortion. Nobody is. You do not really think that abortion is a great thing. What you really want is a right for women to perform an abortion whenever she likes, even though abortion clearly is an evil and ugly thing."
It is amazing how many lefties have never thought about this before. They use to think of themselves as the "intellectuals," whose deep thoughts are so full of "nuance," but even this simple distinction never occurs to most of them. Pathetic.
"I don't know anybody in America who's pro-abortion."
I do. Try the people who came up with, and then sold for a profit, the repugnant "I had an abortion" t-shirts. They seem to enjoy it.
Gee, that's never been tried before. Good thing the Dims have Dean-dong to think up these things.
Um, yeah, ok Sybil.
