"I would say, these are two events that I find morally incomprehensible"

DAVID BROOKS, ‘THE NEW YORK TIMES’ COLUMNIST: Well, first, it just shocks you with how appalling it is.

1984, it was not like 1850. And it’s his med school. It’s not high school. It’s not college. This is a full-grown adult. And so it’s just shocking and appalling that this was the norm, that it was OK to do this.

I don’t know if it survives — he doesn’t — Virginia is a one-term state, so he never has to run again. But I really don’t know. I — frankly, I was a little more appalled by his comments earlier in the week about letting babies die on tables when they’re born in late-term abortions.

And that was sort of what got this ball rolling. And so I would say, these are two events that I find morally incomprehensible.
