Editorial: Abortion fundamentalism overwhelms Democrats: We say: Chairman Tom Perez's U-turn on Omaha mayoral candidate Heath Mello shows the party finally joining Republicans in being held hostage to extremist abortion orthodoxy.
MGB: Sadly, it did overwhelm Hillary. He was not going to lose the pro-choice vote. She should not have taken the bait on partial birth abortion in the debates, since it is already banned under federal law. She should have used this opportunity to show that Trump was as much of an ignorant panderer as Sarah Palin was when she could not describe what she disliked about Roe and then she should have attacked the pro-life movement as an organ of GOP politics and that people should not be fooled, even if some of the Catholic bishops cooperate with their little game. Could she have won? Maybe. She certainly could not have lost any worse in PA, MI, OH, WI. She could have also said that when the two W. appointees were given the chance to overturn Roe, they did not do so. Its a powerful argument that the pro-life judicial strategy is bankrupt and should not affect elections. That and Booker should have been on the ticket.
