Liz Cheney this week made a reasonable point on abortion that is consistent with her principles, but in the wrong forum and with the wrong emphasis.

Conservatives all over the internet and in my inbox are blasting the Republican former congresswoman from Wyoming today because she purportedly backtracked on her long-standing pro-life position. In truth, though, Cheney did not say what some social media posts alleged. What she did say, apart from saying it while campaigning for a radically pro-choice candidate, is largely defensible from a pro-life standpoint.
