It’s faint – easy to miss in the din and blare of the DFL celebrating its just-finished legislative orgy, in the bleating of the news media, in the squawking of Governor Klink and honking of Lieutenant Governor Flanagan at a restaurant or parade.

But it’s out there.

Listen, and you can hear it: “The typical “independent” MInnesota voter is no more enamored of abortion on demand throughout and after pregnancy, at taxpayer expense, for all people of all ages who make it to Minnesota, legally or not, than they are of the idea of completely banning abortion”.

Because as the hangover from the DFL’s legislative orgy sets in, the DFL’s elected officials are telling you they know it, although not much more loudly than the whisper, so as not to offend their “progressive” overseers.

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Sunday she supports allowing limitations on abortion in the third trimester of pregnancy wading into the thorny political debate of abortion procedure time frames.

“I support allowing for limitations in the third trimester that do not interfere with the life or health of the women,” Klobuchar told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” while also reaffirming her support for codifying Roe v. Wade.

So while every Democrat will wriggle away from the question “at what point in pregnancy would it have no longer been OK for your mother to abort you” like it’s a live hand grenade, you can see that they’re not aware that some people can and do answer it.

Metro progressive DFLers don’t hear it, of course – or will turn up the volume of their little show:

But Amy knows.
