Democratic Underground - Now, see, that wasn't so hard, was it?

You just more or less, by implication not outright admission, ever so stealthily, backasswardly but nonetheless actually acknowledged that you respect and abide by legal limits on the "right" to have an abortion! Congratulations!

You have done what none of the other posters would do.

True, you did it kicking and screaming, careful--ever so careful--to couch it within a shroud of spitting hellfire and defiance. But you did it nonetheless.

It's a good first step.

Some day maybe a person like you might actually be able to stand up at a Democratic convention and say loudly and clearly for all the world to hear:

"We Democrats believe in abiding by responsible limitations on abortion. We oppose any abortion after the point at which, under the law, the fetus becomes a human being--unless it is to save the life of the mother.

"We are happy to join with responsible Republicans in banning what some call 'Partial Birth Abortion.'
"Why can't we pass this ban right now?
"I'll tell you why.
"It's because Pro-Death Republicans are standing in the way.'
"Pro-Death Republicans are blocking an agrement.

"It's long past time for Pro-Death, right wing extremists to agree that if there are complications, the mother's life life must be saved first, wherever possible.
"It is time for all Republicans to stop their Pro-Death obstruction and join with us in passing this measure.

"We Democrats believe in life. We have a long tradition of preserving life wherever possible.
"-- Life in the womb--with access to health care for both mother and baby, whether or not they can afford it.
"-- Life for the infant with affordable health care for both rich and poor.
"-- Life for the toddler with Head Start wherever needed.
"-- Life for the child with a good education in decent schools.
"-- Life for all children everywhere, free from hunger and bombs and bullets and disease.
"We Democrats are pro-life not just before birth. We are pro-life throughout the lifetime of all God's children.
"Life is what we Democrats are all about!"
