Granted it is very difficult, but i do not give up hope.
I have hope in pro-life Dem Bob Casey, since 2007 he has been fighting for woman and children.
Help for Pregnant Women and Adoption: ***The Pregnant Women Support Act ***provisions that Senator Casey authored were enacted into law as part of the health care reform bill and provide $1.2 billion in increased adoption assistance and $250 million to create a Pregnancy Assistance Fund. Both of these provisions will go a long way to reduce the number of abortions. So we are trying…talk comes cheap, especially when it is time to reelect. It has been 40yrs now …actually starting back well before Roe/Wade when Ronald Reagan signed that bad bill as Governor in California back in 1967. It’s true he repented and had a change of heart but what dreadful damage that kicked off. Will the law ever be killed? Peace, Carlan
Ronald Reagan is dead. Bob Casey isn’t.
Casey has only a 50% rating by the National Right to Life Committee. Among his problems are voting for Obamacare (which we now know funds abortions) against reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy (prohibiting funding abortions abroad) and his vote for appointment of Elana Kagan to the Supreme Court.
If he’s the Democrat “prolife poster child”, all it tells you is that the Democrat prolife record is abysmal.
Typical Democrat approach; pretend you’re fighting abortion by voting funds for programs that might or might not do anything to reduce it, but vote against anything that would directly curb it. Casey is a little better than most Democrats, but not by much.
Do you remember his father being denied the opportunity to speak at the Dem convention because he truly was prolife?
And, of course, support for abortion is right in the Democrat platform.
And if you look at the provisions of the Pregnant Women Support Act, it’s mostly about providing information to women about that nature of pregnancy and the choices they have. Oh, it also provides grants to the states to combat spousal abuse. It’s not really designed to promote actual financial support to women who might have abortions without it. (Assuming it would.)
And my own state, which has Republican majorities in both houses, provides substantial funds for terminating unfit parents and subsidizing adoptions. They did that under a Republican governor.
I was an active Democrat for most of my life. Held office in the party, as did my wife. But, you know, at a point you just have to accept it that abortion is now the party’s primary fixation. It does not resemble the party of my youth in any way. No, I didn’t become a Republican, probably out of respect for the old party people I knew. I’m just me, now.
But I don’t ever support abortion promoters, which means there is never a Democrat on my ballot that I could vote for.
It’s really that bad, and a Bob Casey with a 50% approval rating doesn’t change it.
