2. Maybe this is why there is the whole "take rare out of the democrats stance on abortion".

Because the Clinton stance of "safe, legal & rare" was an effective way of putting the issue to bed in the right wing. I can see it now, any abortion over 20 weeks will be labeled a late term abortion. And we are falling into the trap by getting rid of the term "rare" and using terms like "abortion on demand" which reminds me of movies on demand and implies a drive through clinic which are the opposite of rare. So the 2014 race is ON in the DU and elsewhere where democrats are 'discussing' the wording and message on abortion. Because given any chance, the psychopaths will try and control how democrats make their case in a way that favours the GOP.

Does anybody else share my worries?
