If you survived the long read, please give a constructive critique, and how it would stack up against the Democrat platform. Give it a score on a scale of 1-100 if you'd like.

This appears to be the 1996 Democrat Party Platform.

Are you promoting it?

[Arthur McGowan]

Our goal is to make abortion less necessary and more rare, not more difficult and more dangerous. We support contraceptive research, family planning, comprehensive family life education, and policies that support healthy childbearing. The abortion rate is dropping. Now we must continue to support efforts to reduce unintended pregnancies, and we call on all Americans to take personal responsibility to meet this important goal.

Murdering babies or other children is never "necessary." Therefore, it can never be made "less necessary."

Since abortion is murder, it should be prohibited by law, and made as unavailable as possible. When it happens, it should be punished.

The federal government has been wholly illegitimate since January 22, 1973. What we have been watching over the past 42 years is the playing out of the logical consequences of that fact.

In fact, the U.S. government lost a great deal of its legitimacy when it did not expel from the Union the several states that "legalized" abortion before 1973.

Contraception LEADS to abortion, because it conditions people to believe they can engage in sexual intercourse and simultaneously have a "right" not to be pregnant. Contraception conditions parents to look upon their children as intruders and enemies. And what does any reasonable person do to an intruder and enemy? Kill him!

I don't see "repeal the 16th, 17th, and 19th amendments" anywhere in this "platform."

I don't see the word "gold" in this document.

My first thought was that John Kasich wrote it.

we must negotiate to guarantee that all trade agreements include standards to protect children, workers, public safety, and the environment. We must ensure adequate trade adjustment assistance and education and training programs to help working families compete and win in the global economy.

Dead giveaway of libtardism.

I was struck by the “era of big gov’t is over”, several mentions of God, calls to balance the budget, etc etc etc. Today, they’d claim that each was offensive and hateful.
