Back when there were one or two democrats in congress with half a brain between them, DPM stood out among them with almost ¾ of a brain. In the mid-1990s, Moynihan was one of the democrats to support the ban on the procedure known as partial-birth abortion. He said of the procedure: "I think this is just too close to infanticide. A child has been born and it has exited the uterus. What on Earth is this procedure?" Earlier in his career in the Senate, Moynihan had expressed his annoyance with the adamantly pro-choice interest groups petitioning him and others on the issue. He complained to them saying, "You women are ruining the Democratic Party with your insistence on abortion." Otherwise, a solid liberal on every other issue, we remember and thank DPM for his respect for life. Happy birthday.
