How many times I wonder will “reproductive rights” or a “women’s right to choose” be heard? Or comments in speeches about how brilliant they think Planned Parenthood is? I don’t want to hear such things. The party platform embraces same-sex marriage. The platform is so extreme on abortion it embraces the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, even though numerous polls show large majority percentages opposing taxpayer funding of abortion. The platform also supports, according to the source cited in this article
repeal of the Helms Amendment. I refuse to watch speeches from a party whose platform is so extreme. I am not spending my valuable time listening to speeches from a party whose platform alienates pro-life Democrats from having a voice in that platform. So I will watch some commentary of the DNC, but no full speeches.
