Our wide spectrum of positions on abortion can be influenced by deep moral, religious, ideological and personal convictions. Politically, though, the divide is clear -- and should be clear. One of the reasons we have political parties is so that they can take, you know, positions on stuff.

Silent Bob's been sucking up to Obama for a while, from April...

Casey vouches for Obama's values

Just more heart and soul of America there, eh, Silent Bob...?

That doesn’t take courage.

The biggest support they can give is to have as many mothers as possible by stopping the wholesale carnage of the unborn.

That’s how you ‘Support Motherhood’. The Republican Party recognizes this. They don’t have to support that meaningless phrase. They just do it by convincing as many women to take up the role. Period. End of story.

Another meaningless phrase like ‘Change’ and ‘Hope,’ I guess.

Totally meaningless BS. If they really supported Motherhood, they’d stop taking actions meant to force us into the workplace, such as gov’t-funded daycare, inching towards year-round school, banning homeschool, and taxing our husbands to half to death!

the Democratic Party platform will soon "strongly" support "motherhood"

Let me know when they support apple pie and Chevrolet.

Is this supposed to be some sort of dramatic change (like they are portraying it over at MSNBC)? That sort of implies the Democratic Party was, until this change came out, formally in favor of forced abortions, dragging screaming pregnant women to abortion clinics to kill their children against their will. Idiot media/political propagandists.

FTA: "In 2007, Obama promised the first thing he will do as president is to lift a ban on state restrictions on abortions, including late-term procedures....
[As for me, I] suspect the president has little influence over the issue of abortion to begin with.
"

Doesn't this guy even read his own writing? To the rousing cheers of a Democratic Congress, Barack Obama's first priority would be to throw out every state law in the USA that regulates abortion to any extent or on any pretext whatsoever.

That would, I think, be unconstitutional on the Federal govt's part, but they could enjoin the enforcement of state laws while the issue is in litigation, which could be for years.

Obama can sink the whole raft of incremental state-legislated statutes we've painstakingly put together for 30 years --- laws which actually protect women and babies from the irreparable harms perpetrated by the Baby-Crushing Industry --- and nobody should pretend for one nanosecond that the presidency is irrelevant in curbing, or perpetuating, this disgraceful massacre.

If the Democrats do manage to sieze control of the health care apparatus, it is only a matter of time before they start strong-arming women to have abortions whenever a pregnancy is considered “high risk”. It would be as simple as letting the mother know that any costs incurred in the course of the pregnancy would not be covered by the government program, and no other medical care is available.

just when I think they can’t get any more idiotic.

Sure...they “support” women who choose to carry to term, and then also “support” women and abortionists who would tear the little baby to shreds.

Nice bunch those liberals.
They’ll come out with this ridiculous statement, but the same folks will call parents “breeders” and try to tell them they are destroying the planet by having kids.
