Kirsten Powers speaks truth to the pro-abortion elites in her party:

It’s tragic that abortion rights have become synonymous with modern day feminism. But it’s mind-boggling that late-term abortions now enjoy the imprimatur of every one of the presidential candidates of one of the two main political parties. Many early feminists — the Suffragettes — opposed abortion. They viewed it as an affront to human rights. There is little doubt that they would have recognized elective, late-term abortion for what it is, a gruesome, uncivilized and inhuman procedure.

Feminism was meant to establish women as having equal legal rights to men. Yet, in today’s twisted debate, women are not mere equals. Instead, they have been elevated to a special status where they have the “right” to determine whether a five-month or older “live fetus,” as the court called it, should be partially delivered outside of their body and killed in the most gruesome manner imaginable, even if carrying that fetus poses no threat to their life.

Some elected Democrats ignored this faux-feminist canard, and supported the ban, including Rep. James P. Moran, of Virginia, who said, “It’s not about a woman’s right to choose. It’s about a baby’s right to life.” The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a pro-choice Democrat, called the practice “infanticide.”

It needs to be said that there is no constitutional right to crush a living human’s skull and suction out its brains, no matter where that life may reside — inside the womb, or partially outside the womb, as is done in the so-called partial birth abortion. It’s immoral and contrary to the values of the Democratic Party, which prides itself on standing up for the weak and voiceless.
