What Abortion and Voter Fraud Have in Common …

Paul Waldman provocatively argues:

Simply put, there is no argument Democrats or Republicans have offered more disingenuously in recent years than the claim that the regulations one conservative state after another has passed on abortion clinics are only in the service of “protecting women’s health.” From the first moment, it was a fraud, a scam, a lie so transparent and obvious that it’s a wonder the Republicans making the claim didn’t dissolve into giggles every time they spoke it aloud. The only other example that comes close is the Republican claim that their efforts to make it harder for Democratic-leaning groups to vote is only for the purpose of stopping “voter fraud.”
