The real question is how can the Democratic party NOT be repulsed by the tape.
It's either criminal or it's not Maggot. Your repulsion level has no effect on that, nor should it.
As for the Democratic party (and everybody else), I suspect a good number of those who support the right to choose, under the law, might find the casual manner of the discussion distasteful, especially with context deleted in the edited versions first released. I did. I don't doubt that some pro-choice individuals also found it repulsive.
It's not illegal to be distasteful or repulsive unless one is committing a crime in the process, which isn't the case here. Not everyone is as politically correct as you might like at all times (and in this case, the pretense was in fact a private business transaction).
I also suspect that many people, regardless of political affiliation, find the religious and politically-driven attempt to infringe on abortion rights at the cost of female health to be some repulsive thinly-veiled bullshit. I do.
