That is why Democrats continue to play word games and struggle with their abortion rhetoric. They are extremists who perceive the need to camouflage their radicalism.

They are good at this. Politically, the hardest cases for the pro-life side involve pregnancies that result from rape and incest. Although rape and incest cases account for a microscopic percentage of total abortions in the United States, they dominate the Democrats’ description of the pro-life position, and the media pepper pro-life candidates and elected officials with tough, specific questions about such cases. By contrast, Democrats spout nonsense about “safe, legal, and rare,” figuring no one will challenge them on what exactly that means. The result is that the pro-life position, though it is closer to the mainstream position, is portrayed as wild-eyed radicalism, while the pro-abortion position — even down to the euphemistic description of it as “pro-choice” — is cast as the very essence of reasonableness and consensus.

This should not be allowed to continue. Every day, Biden and his flacks should be asked specific questions that will make them squirm and illustrate their abortion extremism because they cannot deliver a straightforward “no” answer.
