Hello. I’m not trying to start any political debates, I’m just asking a simple question, since it seems rather difficult to find this information online. My question is: are any of the democrats who are currently running for president in 2020 pro-life? I know most are radically pro-abortion, but are any pro-life?

Thanks for the help. God bless

None. As far as I know, they are all not just pro-choice, they are all pro third trimester abortions.
 
As far as I know, hardly any republicans are completely pro-life. Most are only pro-life in particular circumstances to varying degrees.
 
Sadly not. I’m a registered democrat and I would love for a Jim Webb/Sam Nunn/Zell Miller type to have more political power in our party. It breaks my heart.
 
Although there are still pro-life Democrats out there, I don’t think there has been any major pro-life Democrat candidate for the presidency in some time.
 
Unfortunately if a democrat was pro life they would have trouble not only winning primary votes but also getting campaign funding since a lot of it comes from planned parenthood etc.

Part of the problem is that the USA doesn’t have compulsory voting, which encourages more polarised politics - you have to appeal to the extremes in your own party rather than appeal to the people in between both parties who might not vote anyway. I’m pretty sure that during last election’s primaries, Hilary and Bernie fans were constantly trying to tell each other that their candidate was fully pro choice
 
Sadly there aren’t, and their very likely will not be in the foreseeable future.

No, all the announced Democrats running for President are rabidly pro-choice, including ALL of the senators who voted for infanticide on Senator Ben Sasse’s bill.

The last prominent pro-life Democrat was Governor Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who was set to deliver a keynote address at the 1992 DNC. Planned Parenthood succeeded in not only blocking Governor Casey from speaking at all, but also from preventing any prominent pro-life Democrat from speaking since.

So, for 27 years, it has not be allowed; and probably never will be again.

Pro-life democrats are simply not tolerated by the party any longer - and certainly wouldn’t be allowed to rise up to any national office.

So many candidates and they’re all for death. There’s a lot of things I don’t agree with when it comes to Trump but at least he’s been committed to the pro life cause. I don’t think I can vote democrat until they change their platform. Seems like pro life democrats only exist at a local or state level.

Until I find out who changed the Republican National Platform to favor Russia over Ukraine, I will pay little heed to platforms.
 
A decade ago Tulsi Gabbard was social conservative, pro life and pro traditional marriage. Unfortunately she has different views now, at least publicly.

As a historical note, Carter, a Democratic farmer, gained the support of Evangelicals until he was primaried by Kennedy. Then they switched to Reagan in spite of the fact Reagan had advanced abortion in the whole state of CA. Since then Bush I, Romney, and Trump switched their positions to “pro-life” at least publicly and they got the Evangelical support.

Different how? Does she (still) favor abortion restrictions of any kind?

She doesn’t really say a lot about the subject but looking at her voting and congressional record it doesn’t seem she is in favor of any restrictions. She voted no on the Born Alive survivors Protection Act Bill, and co-sponsored another bill to protect abortion clinics among other things.

What does ‘primaried by Kennedy’ mean? Do you just mean he had their support until he won the primary? Also, was he pro life?

I don’t know if there’s any evidence of Bush and Romney being not pro life before they campaigned for president. There is for Trump, but given that he’s done a bunch of good stuff since becoming president I’m willing to assume that his conversion is genuine
