...but not often in politics.

A baby doesn't magically become a "person" the second it's born. The difference between a medical procedure and infanticide is not when it looks at you. At some point it ISN'T a person and then at some unknowable point it IS. Magic, miracle, whatever.

I'm saying that since we don't KNOW when that point comes, we can't possibly legislate a woman's life away protecting what may not even exist. But legislation and emotion are different things. We're talking about this supposed poll saying many Democrats have a personal problem with the procedure. I'm simply saying that it isn't accurate to refer to them as a bunch of idiots who care not a whit about women.
