Last November, I wrote, in this post, "I wish the Democrats would also reconsider their fanaticism for abortion." One of my commenters said it was the most absurd statement she had ever heard. Oh really?
What are the Democrats saying now?
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are both backing Tim Roemer, a pro-life Democrat, for leadership of the DNC. Of course, there is dissent from the usual quarters, such as Planned Parenthood. But Planned Parenthood is not a proxy for the Democratic Party, even though they've effectively tried to make it so. Pro-life Democrats, Democrats for Life of America, are finally being heard by the party.
UPDATE: PunchTheBag, writing at In The Agora, notes that Senator Ted Kennedy wants abortion to be rare. Problem is, that viewpoint is based on the desire that abortion be unnecessary due to widespread use of contraception, not on actual respect for an unborn, yet living, human being.
