Ald. Bill Conway said “I’ll always stand up for women’s right to

It’s actually completely clear to you. Some residents….ahem….abort the majority of their children in the womb….and all the rest of the Democrats are perfectly OK with that.
And I feel terrible for saying this, as my pro-life position has changed over the years, but if Democrats want to abort their progeny, maybe it’s a good thing, because it means fewer Democrats.
