Pro-life is code for Republican in most circles and is properly understood as sending doctors to jail (which you really can’t do outside the right-wing spin machine without jailing women). The pro-life left must face the fact that the movement is about the expansion of criminal law and most of us will have no part of it. Pro-life feminists need a new name because their friends are ugly.

The Tea Party, in reality, was a wing of the GOP. This movement is a wing of the Democrats. It is the Democratic Party that needs an economic message. Look to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders for that. The question is whether the Clintonians will, who were well represented Saturday, will go along. Of course, Sanders and Warren don’t really go far enough. Real socialist cooperativism is more than the Democrats can handle.
