{Tim Golden, D-Valdosta, said it was difficult for him to vote to support the bill. "I've always said I'm a sound-minded, Zell Miller Democrat, which basically means I'm one who is pretty moderate on some issues and pretty conservative on others," he said.

Sen. Peg Blitch, D-Homerville, represents the southern-most district in Georgia. The self-described "conservative Democrat" was unable to vote on the "Woman's Right to Know Act" because she was sick. Blitch initially said she would have voted for the 24-hour wait. But when she learned the closest Georgia abortion clinic to her district was in Savannah, she changed her opinion on the 24-hour wait, saying it would require women to drive too far. Sen.

Nice to know these Southern Democrats are more conservative than Midwestern Republicans - SARCASM

This article shows that pro-life Democrats are vanishing even on a local level.

Hey, at least the fact that these Southern 'Rats would CONSIDER voting for the bill is better than many Kansas "Moderate" (sic) Republicans who wouldn't consider it whatsoever. But, still, your point is well taken.

"This article shows that pro-life Democrats are vanishing even on a local level."

They're coming under pressure from the same extremist groups that hold a gun to the head of the 'Rats at the national level. Simply put, being pro-abortion is an absolute necessity to run as a 'Rat or you risk getting the carpet yanked from under you, no matter how local a pol. What a shame.
