no he actually does because this talking point comes up constantly. tom suozzi, a NY special election candidate, was asked about it in january and he didn’t argue with the premise. democrats have a fundamental problem talking about abortion.

they’re afraid to be seen as “pro-abortion” instead of just lukewarm “pro-choice,” so they let the right continue to paint abortion as basically a body horror movie.

there is a wildly bad impulse among Democrats to treat Republicans making absolutely bizarre impossible nonsensical points as though it's really some respectable intellectual point they have to deal with vs 'abortion after birth? this is a disgusting weirdo fantasy you make to hurt women'

They want to support abortion rights while at the same time frowning at abortion as being intrinsically bad or at least icky. "Legal, safe, rare" is one expression of it the other is just don't talk about it as you say.

If it was me I’d go “Stop. Hold on. What the fuck do you mean, killing live babies? That’s bullshit. Show me your evidence. Now. If you can’t then we will stop you after every single thing you say and won’t proceed until we have fact checked it”

I think Dems need to do it generally, but like so much else, it needs to be constant and loud, not a one off
