Abortion on Demand—and I Mean Demand!
In the race to replace Ted Kennedy (no one can replace him, of course, but anyone can improve on him), there is no depth to which the radically leftist candidates among the Democratic candidates will not sink, and sink happily, proudly, disgustingly.
Just ask any fetus; he or she will tell you:
A day after criticizing Attorney General Martha Coakley for saying she would have voted against a health care reform bill because it contained an anti-abortion amendment, Rep. Michael Capuano said through an aide that he’ll oppose a final version of the bill unless the amendment is eliminated.
…
Capuano faulted Coakley on Monday, saying a vote against the health care bill would have denied expanding health care to 36 million more Americans.
On Tuesday, Capuano spokeswoman Alison Mills said he’ll fight to improve the bill but would vote against it if it included the abortion amendment.
Fellow Democratic candidates Alan Khazei and Stephen Pagliuca also oppose the amendment.
Wouldn’t political calculus suggest that there might be a political gain in setting oneself apart from the rabble in the Democratic Party and oppose public funding for abor—…?
What am I saying? Among Massachusetts Democrats? They’d throw babies into bonfires with pitchforks if they could—and call it alternative energy.
PS: I just heard a radio debate in which Michael Capuano said he’s back in support of the health care bill for which he voted, then said he opposed. Although he will then work tirelessly to allow public dollars for abortions after all. I think Madame Speaker reached out and gave him a little squeeze where it counts.
Hey, Mike, you’re running for Kennedy’s seat, not Kerry’s. Must we have two senators who were for something before they were against it? (Then for it again?)

How does everyone in your fine peoples’ democratic republic not have terminal whiplash?
