One of the reasons that I track abortion polling with some regularity is that whenever a political debate about limiting the practice unfolds, the abortion lobby and its mouthpieces recite predictable talking points: (1) Proponents of the restriction are "extreme," and (2) any such action would be an affront to "women's rights." Neither argument is accurate. We'll dismantle their points below, but here is the type of rhetoric we're seeing from Democratic Senators -- particularly ones who have an eye on the party's 2020 presidential nomination -- ahead of an upper chamber debate on the House-passed 20 week abortion ban: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Premature infants born as early as 21 weeks-old have survived outside of the womb. Favoring elective abortion-on-demand in the late stages of pregnancy is a radical position; Senator Harris' definition of 'immorality' is creepy and warped. And "dangerous"? Hardly. Virtually every nation in the world is already ahead of us on this moderate, common-sense reform. This statement by Mitch McConnell is accurate -- much to the surprise of some fact-checkers who determined that this point does, indeed, check out: To see more of this article, click read more.
