On one side is the moderate wing, now under the stewardship of Reid, a Mormon who opposes abortion except in the case of rape, incest or a threat to the mother's life. On the other is the liberal wing led by antiwar and pro-abortion rights presidential candidate Howard Dean.
As Jerome wrote at the time:
-
In case you missed the new tune in town, the "moderate wing" of the Democratic Party "opposes abortion" and the "liberal wing" is "antiwar and pro-abortion".
If you feel slightly amazed that you now find yourself standing on the far left wing of your own party, alongside 80-90% of the rest of the Democratic Party, in opposition to the unilateral occupation in Iraq, and to government intrusion of a woman's body (otherwise framed as "antiwar and pro-abortion"), join the club.
Ah, that liberal media.
