The 95/10 plan to reduce abortions that is being pushed by Democrats for Life deserves bi-partisan support.

I've seen Democrats for Life booths before. I can only imagine the grief they take.

That's probably because abortion is a topic people get passionate about as early as middle or high school long before they have opinions about taxes, Social Security, welfare or growth management.

As teens turn into legal voters, their thoughts about abortion drive them straight into a Democratic or Republican tent, where they stay put for years, however awkward the fit.

For a single women, there is solid basis of socioeconomic self interest in being pro-abortion. That is why single women will always be massively pro-abortion.

At the very least, Democrats for Life, much like the Log Cabin Republicans and other groups that swim against their party's tide, is making people rethink their allegiances to parties and putting principles back in focus. That's progress no matter the ideology.

This is the author's lame attempt to get people to look past their abortion position and become Democrats. They are desperate for members in their party. After 30 years of treating unconditional support for abortion as the holy grail, the party is realizing that has not been a successful strategy.

"As teens turn into legal voters, their thoughts about abortion drive them straight into a Democratic or Republican tent..."

There is more to this than just thoughts that turn a woman to the Democrat Party; it is their actions that turn them. When any woman has an abortion and kills her baby just because the baby is inconvenient, she knows in her heart that she has committed a mortal sin. These women desperately need some authority figure to tell them that they have done no wrong, and Democrats fill this need.

One could even say that every time a baby is murdered in the womb, a Democrat is born.
