A news release in August 1981 from Gephardt's Washington office captures the distance he has traveled since.

"President's position on Abortion, Busing, School Prayer Criticized," the headline said - in a release that reproached then-President Ronald Reagan for not doing enough to end abortion, to block school busing and to promote prayer in school.

And then, he met up with the Democrat Party in Washington DC. He was told, no doubt, that his pro-Morality positions would never get him anywhere in the leadership of the Party of Infanticide. So, his spine bent like the noodle it was...and he became an enemy of Decency.
