Democrats hate abortion just as much as anyone else. They just don't think that a woman should be treated as a murderess because she had one. If abortion is murder than any woman who ever had one should be executed. And every boyfriend who paid for one is an accessory to murder. That's the logical outcome of Ponnuru's argument. Democrats want as few abortions as possible, but they don't want to create a new class of criminal. And Terry Schaivo wasn't killed. She was being kept "alive" artificially and died of natural causes. Most people would thank her husband for pulling the plug on the grotesque prison of a body that held back her soul. Sometimes death isn't all that bad.
