In an opinion piece for Salon, radical feminist Camille Paglia tore into her own side over the issue of abortion, which she says has become “an ideological tool ruthlessly exploited by my own party” and about which, she admits, conservatives have the “high moral ground.”
Lamenting that politics in America have been “entangled and strangled for far too long by the rote histrionics of the abortion wars,” Paglia writes that while she remains adamantly pro-“unrestricted” abortion, she has been “disturbed and repelled for decades by the way reproductive rights have become an ideological tool ruthlessly exploited by my own party, the Democrats, to inflame passions, raise money, and drive voting.”
