R&I – TxpAT ***
This determined push for abortion took the party into new territory, and it disturbed older Democrats. For instance, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY), first elected in 1976, counted himself as pro-choice, and yet in 1996, he was moved to say of late-term “partial birth” abortion, “It is as close to infanticide as anything I have come upon.”
That was then. Today, the Democrat sitting in Moynihan’s seat, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, is a pro-abortion totalist.
In fact, pro-abortion sentiment in the Democratic Party is so strong that more moderate rhetoric and argumentation is being pushed aside. As pro-life activist Gloria Purvis points out, Planned Parenthood now regards “pro-choice” as obsolete, and is now happy with saying, “pro-abortion…abortion isn’t a dirty word.” Taking their cue, abortion crusaders in Congress no longer say that they are “pro-choice.”
So yes, Democrats are becoming maximalist, even extremist. And there’s more.
