Please Support the New Democrats Who Oppose Abortion

Former President Jimmy Carter was recently quoted as saying that the Democratic Party has been hurt at the polls for its vehement pro-choice views on abortion.

The issue hurts the Party with liberal Catholics and Latino voters who otherwise may vote Democratic. President Carter also, concluded that he "Could never believe that Jesus Christ would support abortion."

The Democratic Platform currently contains language to allow taxpayer funding of abortion. National polls have consistently demonstrated that most Americans do not support the government paying for abortion. In fact, a February 2012 Quinnipiac University poll (national sample of 2,605 registered voters, margin of error

±1.9 percentage points) found that nearly thirty percent of Americans would not vote for a candidate with whom they disagreed on abortion but agreed on other issues. The Democratic Platform language should be inclusive and endorse the views of all Democrats.

This will resurrect the Blue Dog Democrat in the South and Southwest enabling us to have a solid majority in the Congress. Remember, it was the Democratic Party that gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and a living wage...

    I feel this way strongly. For example, if there is a candidate that believes everything I do except they believe a woman shouldn't be able to make a decision as to what to do with her own body.... Yeah, I wouldn't be able to support such a person. Someone who wants to plunge women's rights to chose back into the time of hangers and back alley abortions is someone I simply cannot support regardless of their other beliefs.

    I'm proud to say that NY State has some of the best laws (I'm assuming you find them to be the worst) regarding a woman's right to chose. You might have more luck posting this sort of thing in a different state.

    I wonder what the black spots are on the inside of the shark's mouth.

    Could bacteria grow in there?

    Dear Jesus: Please save me from your followers.

    Ok, so you don't want to pay taxes to support abortion, because of your beliefs. fine.

    I don't want to pay taxes to put your spawn through public school, So can I opt out of the percentage of my taxes that go to public education, since I chose NOT to have kids and based on my moral beliefs I don't believe that I should support yours either?

    Can I start a petition for child free folks to withdraw tax dollars from funding daycare/school/low cost child health options etc?

    Every senior citizen in the United States would sign that petition. I'd sign in a minute. But somehow, I don't think we'd get very far with it.

    I support abortions for those who kill and rape people aka criminals in jail, If you take money in the form of welfare you shouldn't have kids and should have abortions :p. If you don't take welfare you could have many kids as you want!!!!
