So that\u2019s good news.<\/a>\u00a0 It will be interesting to see what they do now that the work of appealing to the gung ho pro-aborts in the base is over and they have to tack back to the center which a) doesn\u2019t like abortion and b) doesn\u2019t want to do anything about it.<\/p>\nRemember 2008, when Obama was pledging to sign FOCA on his first day in office? \u00a0And the way all that evaporated the instant he actually took office and we never heard about it again? \u00a0I think that\u2019s what we have here.<\/p>\n
Repealing Hyde will involve a big congressional fight and a huge waste of energy for puny political gain with a small minority of zealots for whom abortion is an ideological pole star. \u00a0My suspicion is that Hillary, like the rest of our political class, only cares about this as \u00a0vote-getter. \u00a0I remember her \u201csafe, legal, and rare\u201d mantra: classic Clintonian triangulation. \u00a0So I doubt she actually means to overturn Hyde. \u00a0Too costly to political capital for too small a gain from too extreme a minority.<\/p>\n
Then again, I could be wrong and she may be that politically tone deaf and willing to alienate 80% of the electorate by that act of aggression against conscience. \u00a0We\u2019ll see how much of a zealot she really is.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
