Refuting Compassionate Conservatism's Electoral Benefits

The veteran conservative commentator died yesterday. There was a time when he and William F. Buckley Jr. were practically the only conservative voices heard in the mainstream debate, subsequently joined by Robert Novak, George Will, and Pat Buchanan.
UPDATE: Richard Brookhiser has a nice little tribute to Kilpatrick's skill as a wordsmith and political reporter.
UPDATE II: More from Jim Bovard.

For you youngsters, James J. Kirkpatrick fought the valiant fight when conservatives were very few and the alternative media did not exist. Yet let us not forget his great flaw, one that he shared with Barry Goldwater. Both were pro-abortion, Goldwater going so far as securing his daughter's abortion in Maryland in the late 50s. In a letter he wrote to me about thirty years ago, Kirkpatrick was steadfast in defending the need of his daughters to have the right to terminate a pregnancy if the pregnancy did not suit them. Quite barbaric yet quite within the boundaries of our morally expedient age.
