There ARE pro-life liberals. It feels lonely being rejected by your own party as a bigot and a fanatic and wherever else they can throw at you to say the party has no room for you.

There is an organization called Libertarians for Life. Doris Gordon has worked tirelessly to make the Libertarian Platform less pro-abortion.

(BTW, I belong to L4L because of the information they make available to me at the website and on the e-list.

But, I'm a small government Republican.)

I didn't know there were any pro-life Democrats left at all.

There aren't any. It's a contradiction in terms.

Lets commit the ultimate sin (for a democrat) and look at this logically.

Let's assume that I am a pro-life democrat. That means that while I am pro-life I also support the democrat candidates with my money and my votes. Now these candidates are without exception pro-abortion. So my money and vote goes to abort babies. How can I be pro-life if my money and my vote goes for killing babies?

Any democrat who claims to be pro-life is either lying about being a democrat or lying about being pro-life. Since they are a liar and the defining characteristic of the democrats is to be a liar we can safely assume that they are not pro-life because they are democrats.

Not once in the last 25 years have I been given a ballot with a pro-life Demodog on it. There have, however, been several times I have been given a pro-death Republican choice.

The Demodogs chose death. It isn't chance.

Now, as a minority, Democrats are down to 204 seats, with 28 pro-life Democrats.

Who are the 28 heretics? And how exactly do Democrats define "pro-life""? All this could mean is that they're against abortion in the 9th month.
