Appreciate the thoughts here. Again, I appreciate these as your own, no quotes.
I'd also say tjm didn't take this post to the topic of abortion. The quote definitely took it there before him, and his reaction was the logical next step.
I'd hope people would understand the infanticide take to be far, far fringe, and not a "democrat or republican" take. However, it's clear in the comments that some are taking it face value (as I did), but actually are buying into the nonsense that this is somehow an evil democratic ideal that's lurking below the surface, and only staying below the surface in the hunt for 50% of the vote.
Far, far fringe is a lot different from a mainstream republican refrain that "life begins at conception", suggesting all abortions are immoral.
The setup here for a republican believing "all life begins at conception" is that "just like you on the republican side, those mainstream democrats believe in killing babies, and if they had there way, you know that's what they'd do." See: Fox news.
