The midterms’ shocking embrace of abortion extremism

In a poetic story that you just cannot make up, Josh Turek of Iowa became the first U.S. Senator with spina bifida, a congenital neural tube defect. Turek fills a seat held for three decades by Tom Harkin, the major sponsor of the culture-shifting Americans with Disabilities Act. Senator-elect Turek has flourished in nearly every way one can imagine, including by winning two gold medals in wheelchair basketball and playing in four different Paralympic Games.

This wasn’t the future predicted for him, however. After he was born with spina bifida, Turek reports that his parents were told by his doctors that it would be “impossible for me to live a fulfilled life.”
