I don’t know Mr. Kmiec personally. But I do feel that the most serious issue of abortion has to become a non-partisan issue.
You see if some serious pro-life people go into the Democrat Party, sooner or later the Democrats will have to moderate some of the more extreme pro-abortion positions. For example, I checked out the “Matthew 25” page and on it Obama states he will not support partial birth abortion and that states have every right to pass laws that restrict late term abortions.(whether you want to believe this is true, that is up to you)
Nevertheless, the Democrats are moderating their stated position, and Kmiec got the Democrats to write in their platform things about reducing abortion. This is a first for the Democrats, who have, at least since Casey at the ‘92 Convention, been the party of the big abortion racket.
I want, in my lifetime, to see two pro-life anti abortion politicians debating the issues. I am sick of seeing it as a partisan issue.
If people on both sides are against it, more people will take arguments against it seriously. People who are otherwise prone to vote democrat on issues like the war, labor, taxes etc etc will be more likely to take a closer look at this life and death issue.
