Washington, DC -- A draft copy of the proposed Democratic Party platform shouldn't surprise anyone involved in the abortion debate. The platform backs unlimited abortions paid for at taxpayer expense but also tries to moderate the party's image with support for childbirth and birth control.

The party platform is supposed to mirror the principles and policies of the nominee, in this case pro-abortion candidate Barack Obama.

The proposed platform does just that, by promoting unqualified support for abortion and the Roe v. Wade case that ushered in 50 million abortions.

Don’t worry - they and their media clones will have something up their sleeve to try and confuse Catholics/Christians on the issue.

Read the book “The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life,” by Ramesh Ponnuru.

It tells all we need to know about Democrats.

Yeah, and I support the right of mass murderers to live provided they can survive the lethal injection.

Yep.

One of the several reasons I am voting for McCain. I intend to do what I can do to stop the Rats from getting even more power.

As a rational, God fearing Texan, I can’t see how they could spin this to their advantage.
