      I think the fact that Bill Kristol has moderated his position on abortion slightly is one of the better things you could say about Bill Kristol. What am I missing here?https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1521896774981591041 …

      I suppose the larger point you could make is that for neo-cons domestic policy is secondary to foreign policy, so they are willing to switch on domestic policy depending on which party they align with. But you have to spell that out.

          Is Taibbi opposed to abortion rights yet?

          Not domestic policy, but social conservatism has become secondary. They've shifted on Abortion/Gay marriage but they still want taxes cut to the bone and regulation abolished.

          I think a better description for Bill Krystal is small l liberal who values small l liberal democracy over all other positions.

          Even if that means spreading it by imperial conquest

          You would think that would make them even more in favor of ending Roe, the logic being that more unwanted pregnancies forced to be carried to term = more poor kids = more young people signing up for the military out of necessity

          and like the MS Abortion Law is restrictive, it's not like he is a wild pro choice guy. also 1988 is a lot further in the past than JD Vance criticizing Trump two years ago and cravenly switching his beliefs. somehow that escapes criticism.

          ppl change as well my dad's partners father was mildly racist and then a black nurse took care of his dying wife and he realized that his racism was based off of ignorance and incorrect beliefs. i know some ppl may change for political reasons but pro-Roe is good.

          Is he moderating or just reading the room (which would also be an improvement for him!) and realizing that overturning Roe would probably damage the neocon foreign policy program in the long run?

          No, the point you are missing is that when evangelicals (who didn't used to care about foreign policy) became THE core element of the GOP, Neo-cons like Kristal were willing to embrace their anti-abortion position (even though they didn't really believe in it) just to get power
