The 28 percent of Democrats who oppose abortion have no place in the Democratic party, according to two of the party’s leading figures.
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin echoed party chair Tom Perez Sunday in saying that there is no room in the party for dissent on the abortion issue.
“I am committed to women’s rights under the law, reproductive rights certainly, and our party is [committed],” Durbin said in an appearance on CNN. “We’ve made that part of our platform and position for a long, long time. I know within the ranks of the Democratic Party there are those who see that differently on a personal basis, but when it comes to the policy position, I think we need to be clear and unequivocal.”

Didn’t close he or somebody just got done saying that there’s room for everybody in the Democratic Party? Seems that they don’t know their own message. Or someone’s lying
This 28-percent group have moved on...at least nationally. It’s been that way for over twenty years. They might still vote Democrat in local and state elections, but they are not part of the national Democratic Party. You can look at voting map displays going back to the 1990s and where they departed from the national vote trend.
It is a good start in striving for party purity, Dicky, but I fear that it does not go far enough.
Perhaps a requirement to wear an armband while out in public would be a sign of party purity.
You could have something like “INGSOC” emblazoned on it to openly show your loyalty. Of course, the ruling council should decide the proper dress code.
A uniform would be a nice touch.
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength!
It’s about time someone spoke out. Now, let’s talk about Ms. Piglosi and her Catholic values and thoughts on murder of innocents.
The Church has been far too lax on these ‘folks’. When fingers point, a good many should be pointed in that direction.
Kewel...
That is too complicated for those still Democrat to understand.
I mean, really? You are still registered D and you oppose abortion?
I don't think she said exactly where...
Perfecto.....pay attention dems
“I’m just glad to see someone in the church take a stand.”
Yeah, but you might want to hold off on the kudos, because the Catholic’s Commie Pope hasn’t been heard from yet. Catholics need to demand this fraud be removed as their “spiritual leader” in much the same fashion as the voters here in the US “removed” Hillary. The ole Pope’s been whiffing off of his little “smoking dangler” for too long.
Tom and his TOTALTARIANS are a bunch of Dicks.
They now have the worst DumbNC chairman ever.
What a bunch of losers.
As a candidate for the Illinois legislature and as a member of the US Congress representing a Springfield district, Richard Durbin was pro-life and pro-gun. Clearly, this hypocritical politician was simply tailoring his politics for what was once a more conservative leaning district.
Once he was securely entrenched in office and contemplating running for statewide offices, his viewpoints evolved.
Oh, yes, Durbin claims to be a Catholic.
Democrats make the case for assisted suicide; just consider it a type of late term abortion, but in this case there are no brains to suck out.
“The Church has been far too lax on these ‘folks’”
So when does the Pope come out for abortion? Knowing the socialist tripe that come out of his mouth, nothing would surprise me.
I believe at a Judgement Day all the abortion worshippers will get to see all of the happy souls of the aborted as a final testament on the way down.
These guys are brilliant. They’ve lost 1000+ seats in the last few elections and lost the majority in federal house and senate and Hillary lost to Trump.
And they determined the problem is there are too many people in the party so they should kick a few more out.
They’re probably right that it will make GOTV efforts easier with those who are left in the party. But they are failing at basic math again. A higher percentage turnout of a smaller number of voters doesn’t win if it isn’t a majority.
This could turn out to be the beginning of the end of the party of death and rich people. Young people are finding abortion less and less attractive, Catholics have already started to recognize the Democrats for what they are; and others who have voted for them are beginning to die off.
This doesn’t guarantee the stupid party will gain in the long run, but it does seal the Democrats out of power for a few generations.
