Pro-Life Democrats - Why the Left Needs Some Moral Superiority
I know, Abortion is the Only Issue in the Next Election. I've said it before. It just doesn't matter. War, schmore. Taxes, blaxes. Corruption, schmoruption. We want to hear about dead babies. And it's gonna kill Kerry.

The Republicans have a great history of including all kinds of people - gays, christians, buddhists, blacks, latinos, women, foreigners, hawks, doves, all kinds. It makes them kind of disjointed, but they have this in common - that they put their party first before principle. It's all about winning.
So, in the Republican Party, there's the pro-abortion caucus. That's right, the smallish group of people who find that the rest of the party's platform is so attractive, they're willing to put up with the anti-abortion stance. These are people who think that war is just great, that the rich should get richer and the poor poorer, and that abortion is just fine as long as my daughter doesn't do it.
You know, the really nice ones.
This is the mainstream of the Republican party by the way - the group that, according to GW Bush "isn't ready to outlaw abortion".
But Republicans learned long ago that winning was more important than principle. Because winning gets you power and power gets you power. So here you have a hundred years later a political party who's core message of civil liberty, economic freedom and republican solidarity has been so disguised in so many ways to so many people that it's unrecognizable.
Asking Republicans for a party platform is like asking Philip Morris for the truth about Cigarette smoking. It ain't gonna happen.
Democrats, on the other hand, haven't learned this lesson. Democrats take a specific stand on issues, making them vulnerable to criticism and therefore less likely to attract voters not in their mainstream. They're pro-labor, pro-abortion-rights, anti-gun-rights and anti-war.
Well, sometimes.
The truth is, their message is a little sloppy too.
The TRUTH is, and that is the point isn't it, that neither party gives a flying crapola about any of the issues. They're talking points along a road to one thing - winning. It's sheer, unadulterated us versus them.
It's the Star-Bellied Sneetches versus the ones with no stars upon thars.
The Bottom Line
In the battle between US and THEM, there is no question about who us is on ONE ISSUE and only ONE ISSUE ONLY- Abortion. If the Democrats wanted to have a winning platform, they'd include the anti-abortionists in their fold on the moral basis that it's the poor and underpriveleged that are getting abortions by droves, not the wealthy land-owners. Abortion is a trick being used to get poor people to kill their own children. It's a sad country we live in where people would choose to give up their own children rather than keep them and the Democrats have the answer - Welfare.
Holy crackers, Batman, did I say Welfare?
Yes, Welfare.
Welfare is the tipping point. It's the partof the fabric of our country where we say to a pregnant woman and her family that we as a country will stand by her decision to have her child if she wants. We will support both her and the child if necessary, and we will make it possible for the underpriveleged to have respectable housing, food, clothing and medical care. Period. This is a human rights issue, and we liberals beleive (even us Libertarian Liberals) believe that every human has a right to these things.
As with other Democratic-style issues, we're not proposing the brute-force solution of making it illegal to kill babies and death-chairing the doctors that do it. No, we're going to actually TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM by addressing it directly.
Therefore, Mr. Kerry, I highly recommend you take the advice of the Catholic Church on this one - be Pro-Life. Stand up for what you know is right and how you know you can solve it - by solving the problem, not cauterizing the wound.

legal or not, abortion is murder!
and so is war crimes for all those bush supporters
that call themselves moralists on abortion laws
but other acts of polical deaths are simply p-ssed
on as "business as usual"

can you explain why it is
absolutely okay for humans that p-ss through the
birth canal to be "free game" to be murdered in
war? especially an illegal war? theory here...
just make sure that they have had their first few
meals and take their dinner plate away along with
their young lives.
and you're manner of
speaking about senior citizens is not thought-out
enough.
in true comparison to an embryo
that is not developed yet and every senior citizen
alive that has contributed to helping your living
in some way or another either by technology or
other intellectual means, why are they
disposable?

ten thousand babies are exterminated daily as a
result of legalized abortion! it is reprehensible
that an infant, the most valued and perfect of
beings, can legally be eliminated at the
convenience of that infant's mother! why do we
strive to prolong the lives of the elderly and ill
and yet willingly kill 10,000 inconveniently
conceived and defenseless babies? legal or not,
abortion is murder!
