The Democratic National Convention was a celebration of the first female major party presidential nominee. But it was also a celebration of abortion. Many of the speakers mentioned the “right to choose” and the importance of appointing “pro-choice” judges to the bench. The leaders of three abortion advocacy groups were featured in prime time. One was cheered when she said she’d had an abortion because it was “the wrong time” in her life. What’s to cheer about, even if you believe women should have that choice? She’d extinguished the life of another human, and that’s worth celebrating?

It’s not surprising that a political party for which pro-abortion absolutism is the sine qua non of elevation to the presidential nomination would feature it during the convention. Clinton has been a fierce abortion advocate over a political career of more than 40 years.
