Debbie Wasserman Schultz is apparently determined to prove that she’s all the horrible things we think she is.
From HotAir’s Allahpundit:
The AP tried to corner Paul on abortion this afternoon by asking him to state definitively which exceptions to a ban he’d support. (In their defense, although firmly pro-life, he has been strategically cagey about his intentions on this subject if elected president.) Paul danced around the AP’s questions; the DNC then dutifully sent the story around to the media, hoping they’d take the baton and keep asking him about it. Sure enough, at his presser in New Hampshire this afternoon, a local reporter asked him about exceptions to abortions bans. Paul was ready for them this time.
Here’s video of Paul’s response (starts around the 8:00 mark):
Transcript via CNN:
“You go back and you ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she’s okay with killing a seven pound baby that is just not yet born yet. Ask her when life begins, and you ask Debbie when she’s willing to protect life,” he said. “When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me.”
Little Debbie didn’t like getting called out. So she fired back with this:
“Here’s an answer,” she said in an emailed statement. “I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story. Now your turn, Senator Paul.”
“Period,” eh, Debbie? Meaning what, exactly?
DNC Chairwoman @DWStweets says there should be no restrictions on abortion whatsoever. Is the party united on this? pic.twitter.com/g2ZVQfRR3h

Is there consensus within the Democratic Party that abortion should be legal up to the moment of birth? https://t.co/2NiYDv0DG5

It sounds an awful lot like Debbie thinks there should be.

@allahpundit @moody Clearly, @DWStweets is pro-infanticide to the point of irrationality. Does anyone find this surprising?

@seanmdav I'd like @DWStweets to explain how much say the doctor gets. Can the doctor veto the woman's decision? pic.twitter.com/w6CshRE2N3

If a woman and her doctor decide to kill someone, @DWSTweets is ok with it. pic.twitter.com/VimtdAaIOp

.@DWStweets wants no limits on abortion in any way. Would she like to see partial-birth abortion method legal again? Gosnell case revisited?

So, today we learned that @DWStweets is officially a lunatic fringe pro-abort who'd let a woman kill her kid at 8+ months in the womb.

Now on record: DNC comes out for zero restrictions on abortion – including in 7th & 8th months of pregnancy. https://t.co/mXJ6uziAFs

Wendy Davis got electorally destroyed for having a *less* extreme position than the head of the DNC just admitted to. Take note, @GOP

@moody No limits? Wow. That's sick even by psychopath .@DWStweets standards! So, 9 months? Why not advocate after birth abortion too, Deb?

Hi @DWStweets What's the difference between what Democrats believe & what convicted serial killer Kermit Gosnell believes. I'll wait.

We look forward to hearing her answer.
