It is increasingly clear that the Democrats really are the party of sterility and death. No less than The New York Times predicted that the DNC will be a display of “unbridled abortion politics.” Unbridled indeed. Harris and Walz represent the most ardently pro-abortion ticket in American history.

The Democrats are gathering in Chicago this week for what they predict (and fervently hope) will be one big festival of joy and party unity. The ever-smiling focus of attention will, of course, be on Vice President Kamala Harris, the party’s nominee for the highest office in the land. Keep in mind that major Democratic leaders had discounted Harris’ political future just weeks ago. Now, the party’s leadership celebrates a new energy and attitude with Harris at the top of the ticket and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Chicago is planned as one big and very unexpected celebration.

Of course, the unexpected dimension points to the fact that the Harris-Walz ticket only came about because party leaders carried out what amounts to a coup against President Joe Biden. Once the cratering incumbent agreed to exit the race and endorse his vice president, the stage was set for delegates in Chicago to give Biden an exit worthy of a retiring hero. If you know how political conventions work, it says everything that Biden’s address to the delegates will come tonight, opening night, which is the lowest rank among the evening sessions. In other words, the message to Biden is “Thank you very much, and now get off the stage so we can get on with business.”
