Bernie Sanders' Stance On Abortion Is Exactly What You'd Expect From The Progressive Candidate

The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) gave Sanders a 0 percent rating, while NARAL Pro-Choice America gave Sanders a 100 percent rating. According to the website LifeNews.com, Sanders has a 6 percent pro-life voting record. Out of 101 votes on issues concerning the abortion debate, Sanders has only voted in line with pro-life supporters one time, when he supported a ban on human cloning. However, on every other vote, Sanders has remained staunchly on the side of the pro-choice. He has voted “no” on banning family planning funding in U.S. aid abroad, on banning partial-birth abortion, and on funding health care providers that do not offer information on abortions.

Barack Obama was a set-up from way back when. Bernie Sanders is an old washed-up NYC leftist who, like many others, beat a path to Vermont. They aren’t anywhere near alike. Now, if you see a charismatic young Latino or homosexual come along with the magic touch and tons of insider backing, then start to worry.

I wonder if he would make some of the “I’ll never vote for Donald Trump” crowd change their tune?

So Sanders thinks we should just murder all the ‘inconvenient’ babies right?

People like this are such a$$hole creeps. Sorry my French. My blood pressures up just thinking about it.

If you clone people, you get more people. I wouldn’t call him ‘pro-life’ on that one.

Margaret Sanger didn't want to just murder ‘inconvenient’ babies, she openly advocated ‘no more babies’ in Western Europe for 10 years after WWII. And she wasn't ‘pro-choice’, she was anti-baby and shrugged when asked how do you defend this position when a woman steps forward to say that she would be unable have a baby after the 10 year moratorium.

Ironic isn't it? A Constitutional Republic; now that is progressive. Tyrants and Dictators are as old as mankind.
