Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Leading pro-life Democrat Nat Hentoff wrote a national editorial on Tuesday saying he had considered supporting Barack Obama for president. That was until he investigated Obama's record on abortion and found that the Illinois lawmaker essentially supported infanticide. "I was once strongly inclined to vote for Barack Obama for president (assuming he won his party's nomination)," Hentoff said in the column.

"But then I learned Obama's voting record on abortion."

So Nat, did you support the Clinton's? Clinton as president could have ended partial birth abortion, he did not.

But you can't support Obama for the same reason? Really........

Same problem, of course. Hentoff is consistent and honorable.

He'll stay home.

Well, unlike Obama, Hillary is not on record as supporting letting live healthy babies die on the shelf.

Bob Casey was a Democrat and he was strongly pro-life...so much so that the Dems didn’t want him to speak at their convention.

There’s some Yellow Dog Democrats in the south that are just as strongly Pro-Life.

My girlfriend’s entire family is old-school JFK kind of Democrats and they are Pro-Life.

On the other side you have many, many Republicans who are pro-abortion...
