Democratic Party Platform

[dmelosi]

The paragraph below was recently inserted into the party platform with little resistance from the Democrats for Life organization.

“The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.”

The democrats that are pro life need to stop paying so much lip service that their party is the “party of life” and try harder to change their party’s platform. It is getting further from any possiblility of stopping abortion on demand.

Sounds like a precursor to taxpayer paid abortions.

I am really disappointed that no democrats have responded.

I especially thought that they would condemn their party for this and really have to question their committment to being Pro-Life.

There have been many people view the thread.

The Democratic Party will never change this position. They get too much money from pro-choice donors.

Look at the board restrictions on talking about political parties.

I may have missed that, I did look and see not to name politicians running for office, but did not see the ban on talking about political parties.

Can you please point me to that?
Thanks

We find it necessary to also limit the discussion of political parties. When Democrat or Republican is used, it should be in a neutral way. Discuss the issues, not the candidates or parties. Posts which make a case for voting for either party will be removed without notice, as will posts which attempt to show that a party’s platform is closer to Church teaching.
