Does Gail Collins think we're stupid?

In a NYT column bemoaning the fact that as more and more of the population are abortion survivors the procedure gets less and less popular states the following non-sequitur:

They’re caught in the middle of a political fight over a deeply personal issue that leaves most Americans feeling uneasy. If you want to rack up a real positive response on a poll, ask people whether the women or the politicians should make decisions about their pregnancies. One of the surveys commissioned by Planned Parenthood showed 83 percent of likely voters picked the women, including 64 percent of those who called themselves pro-life.

And I'll bet that more 83 percent would also say that mothers (and fathers) should make decisions about their children.

They just assume that making decisions doesn't extend to killing them.

Abortion is a barbaric relic from a pagan past.  It's fitting that it is embraced most enthusiastically by our modern pagan class of which Ms. Collins is a leader.
