Durbin: Dems can think what they want, but are required to support abortion in policy

It’s not called the Democratic sacrament for nothing, you know. After DNC chair Tom Perez declared abortion rights an issue of potential excommunication for Democrats after Bernie Sanders endorsed a pro-life Democrat from their Unity Tour. CNN’s Dana Bash asked Sen. Dick Durbin whether he agrees with Perez and the pro-abortion lobby represented by NARAL, or whether Democrats will back pro-life candidates in the future. Durbin replied that Democrats can think however they want … as long as they support abortion in public, that is:

[C19fan]

Democrats following Lenin's principle of democratic centralism.

[antidemoncrat]

It’s too bad Turdbrain’s parents weren’t abortion fanatics.

[TigersEye]

Support the policy or go under the lash, ye scurvy dogs!

[wheresmyusa]

Well, that’s mighty tolerant of ya. Dick.

[stinkerpot65]

The liberal craves baby murder.

[Enten]

Durbin: We don’t want any “yes men” in this party! Is that understood? The Democrats respond “yes, Mr. Durbin”

[faithhopecharity]

Murdering millions of American babies every year was never ever a D party required creed. Think whatever we may about the D party and its policies, deeds, mistakes over the years, no political party of any consequence ever sunk this low on any scale of morality or human rights or just simple decency. Durbin’s assertion is Satanic - There’s just no other word for it - and any any any decent human being — with or without religious faith — no faith required whatsoever to understand this.

The new and improved democrat party. Reduced to squabbling amongst themselves. You really cannot make this up.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Durbin and Biden: “We’re not in favor of any and all abortions in theory, only in practice.”

[faithhopecharity]

Dead is dead.

[VideoPaul]

Another update from the party that celebrates free thinking...

[mulligan]

That is sick. No wonder the nation is in such trouble. Being led by incompetent idiots.

[subterfuge]

Little Dick Durbin is a disgrace. He is simply too stupid to see the irony in his stupid statement.

[HiTech RedNeck]

A slave of wickedness.

[NorthMountain]

To vote for a democRAT is a grave evil; the democRAT Party is the Party of Murder. Of this there should no longer be any doubt.

[HiTech RedNeck]

They are not pro choice about being pro choice!

[ptsal]

How can anyone support the baby murdering policy of the Demoncrat Party... That is beyond my level of understanding.

[NorthMountain]

Murdering millions of American babies every year was never ever a D party required creed.

It has been part of their official party platform since the 1970s.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We had no effective way to combat it because we were lukewarm about God. God finally asked, must I send you Barack Obama?

[ConservaTeen]

Support murder...vote Democrat...
