Abortion is a life-saving medical procedure

Memo to Democrats for Life:

If you want to be taken seriously by the Democratic party, it's probably best not to say stupid things like this:

[NARAL Pro-Choice America president Kate] Michelman supports language that pledges to reduce the "need for abortion," implicitly acknowledging the reasonableness of abortion in certain circumstances. [Democrats for Life executive director Kristen] Day, on the other hand, tells me "there is never a need for abortion," and she wants the party to emphatically state that its goal is to reduce the total number of abortions.

(Emphasis mine.) Never a need for abortion? Has Ms. Day never heard of ectopic pregnancy? Placental abruption? Cancer?

The fact is ABORTION SAVES LIVES EVERY DAY. Anyone who could say that there is "never a need for abortion" obviously cares more about slut-shaming than respecting life.
