Here is what's wrong with the Democrats---and the media

As written in the Chicago Tribune: "Reaching out to more moderate, churchgoing voters with misgivings about abortion, House Democrats plan to unveil legislation on Thursday that sets a public policy goal of reducing abortions in America."

Same article, Dem policy analyst: "From our perspective, it shows Democrats are changing the debate and making it a priority to reduce abortions in America while leaving personal liberties intact."

My points--first of all, the introductory paragraph suggests that the prior Democratic policy approach was "Abortions for all! Buy one, get one free!" The second is the notion that Democrats need to "reach out" to moderate churchgoers, (and implicitly, to fundamentally change the message to do so), as if the Pat-shake-drinking lunatic fringe had that group locked up (speaking as a not-too-far from moderate churchgoer).

And my second point is the Dem policy analysis who apparently seems to say "yup, that's right, we've been wrong," suggesting the need for change (and hinting at fear) rather than emphasizing

1) constitutional liberty
2) personal freedom and proper government roles
3) rationality--recognizing that faith-based initiatives+medieval attitudes toward sexuality=pregnant teenagers, and that abortion laws don't reduce abortions.
4) individual responsibility and educated choices

We're on the right side here. They aren't. Say so.
