The Liberals' Unnuanced Position of Abortion on Demand

I cannot let pass without comment the entirely predictable editorial from the Star Tribune complaining about the bill passed by the North Dakota legislature restricting abortion. The editorial is a recycled complaint that barely warrants response in its tired cliches. I thought it was worthwhile noting that there is a murder trial proceeding in Philadelphia against Dr. Kermit Gosnell--an abortionist who ran a clinic straight out of a horror film with filth and body parts strewn around the clinic. The point Mark Steyn makes is right on target. This murderer operated with the full endorsement of the state. The idea that abortion on demand ridded America of "backstreet abortions" is false, except that the backstreet abortion is now done on Main Street.
