David Brooks and the New York Times might be onto something here …
Quick, someone needs to check Hell and make sure it hasn’t frozen over, we just agreed with Brooks?
How many progressive priorities are Democrats giving up just so they can have their way on abortion? https://t.co/jw88Pxjjwy

From the New York Times:
Last week I watched as our senators voted down the Republican bill that would have banned abortions after 20 weeks. Our people hung together. Only three Democrats voted with the other side. Yet as I was watching I kept wondering: How much is our position on late-term abortions hurting us? How many progressive priorities are we giving up just so we can have our way on this one?
Wow.
And this, of course, pissed proud pro-abort Jessica Valenti right the EFF off:
I'm so fucking done https://t.co/cHaYQnXVzu

See? She’s so eff’ing done.
If you're going to write a column that blithely suggests doing away with abortion rights, perhaps the word 'woman' should appear more than once

Abortion rights? WTF are abortion rights?
Wow, this chick really seems to like abortion.
"But do we want late-term abortion so much that we are willing to tolerate President Trump?"
Honestly, FUCK this dishonest bullshit. You know what I'm not willing to tolerate? Dead women. Women being forced to carry dying fetuses. Because that's what 20 week bans do.

Gosh, she is so angry.
Maybe some more fiber in her diet would help.
My humanity is not an intellectual exercise. Women's right to bodily integrity and medical care is not political fodder.
That Brooks could write like this about women's lives goes to show how little he regards them pic.twitter.com/d1lzPyDqvj

What about the baby’s bodily integrity?
Except there were exceptions for that in the bill. But you knew that.

Medially necessary abortions past 20 weeks were exempted.
Nah to this bullshit, too. You know where else has 'exceptions' for women's lives? Ireland. Ask Savita Halappanavar how that worked out for her. https://t.co/OTipmu0k5e

OH FFS.
Seriously. At what point during a woman's dangerous pregnancy will she be "allowed" to get an abortion? When her blood pressure spikes? When her liver starts to fail? Or will a doctor say she needs to be on death's door? These are not decisions you can legislate.

Ok, we definitely need the world’s tiniest violin, anyone?
Ask everyone in Western Europe where it’s the law to limit abortions past 20wks if they live in this hellscape of women dying while pregnant. https://t.co/rVjcTkWJZV

So does this mean we shouldn’t legislate murder at all? That taking another’s life should be a personal decision?
Jessica is freaking out about a bill that exempted everything she’s freaking out about – then again, we doubt she actually even bothered to read the bill.
They're a priority because abortions after 20 wks are often either 1) ending wanted pregnancies mired in tragic circumstances or 2) medical emergencies. Things a person should know before they write about it for the fucking NYT pic.twitter.com/augqE1EufL

Imagine being THIS angry that someone would dare ban abortions after 20 weeks.
Just wow.
After having a good night's sleep, I'm even madder about David Brooks' piece

She’s such a charmer.
