Vanity Fair editor: pro-life position 'is absurd'

Carl Bernstein, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair magazine, thinks Republicans need to get over the abortion issue and dismiss “pro-life” as a litmus test for a Republican primary.

“What I’m trying to say is that our politics has been overwhelmed by this issue [for] far too long,” Bernstein said during a Friday appearance on Morning Joe. “We’ve got huge problems in this country [and] the idea that our debate is still going on over abortion, that this is the great issue for this one [Republican] party, is absurd.”
