In a desperate attempt to couch their pro-choice stands on abortion, Democratic candidates all over the country have adopted the Clintonesque mantra that they want abortion to be:
"Safe, Legal and Rare"
This was vigorously discussed several weeks ago in a DailyKos Diary by Beket.
The problem is that this catchphrase worked for the charming wordsmith Bill Clinton in the 90's, but it marginalizes the issue for politicians 15 years later in 2007.
It's time to revamp this phrase to reflect the realities of 2007 to:
"Safe, Legal, Rarely Used and Universally Available"
"Universally Available" abortions were also extensively discussed in a DailyKos Diary by Readrock several weeks ago.
