Aborted language

Abortion | ABORTION: Does the Democratic platform read pro-lifers out of the party? | Lynn Vincent

In the turbulent 1770s, journalist Samuel Adams and other fiery orators rallied patriots at Boston’s Fanueil Hall, ultimately sparking the American Revolution. Last week, pro-life Democrats rallied on Fanueil’s historic cobblestone plaza and called for a revolution in their own party.

“I’d like to be a pioneer!” Georgia Democratic congressional candidate Silvia Delamar told a crowd of about 200 on July 20. “If one woman in Congress would stand up and admit she’s pro-life, other women would admit it, too. Right now, they’re afraid of being excluded or kicked out of the party if they speak up!”

Despite Ms. Delamar’s impassioned speech, Democratic convention delegates that same day adopted a party platform that drops big-tent abortion language and seems a step closer to excluding pro-life views altogether.
