No, No, No! Don’t disturb Chappy with facts! There must have been OODLES of Pro-life democrats addressing the DNC over the past four years. Uh, there was Al Gore, no, not really pro-life was he? Then there was Bill “safe, legal and rare” Clinton, no, not him either. Zell Miller! Oh, that’s right he addressed the GOP convention because the Dems ran him out of the party.

There has GOT to be ONE sonewhere. Ask Lil Swiss Miss…

emjem,

I don’t include anyone specifically on that list. I am purely going by what lifenews.com, which doesn’t appear to be a partisan site to me, says.

I would concede that there are probably at least a few that are PLINOs.

I have no idea what you mean by “national leadership position”, but according to lifenews.com there are about 30-35 pro-life Democrats in Congress (numbers differ on a few sites I looked at). I wonder how that would compare to pro-choice Republicans.

Chaps, could you be a dear and tell me how many of these “pro-life” Dems in Congress actually have a “pro-life” record? How many are posing as “pro-lifers” only to chicken out and fold to party pressure?

It seems that you’re ascribing an exception that should also exist in the GOP which is the existence of “pro-choice” Republicans. If this is the case, how many “pro-choice” Republicans voted WITH the party on “pro-life” initiaties? I’m just curious.

If you’re including Sen. Casey on that list of “pro-life” Dems, I’d strike him off your list because he’s a “pro-lifer” in name only. He’s voted with his party at least on one pro-choice legislation that I know of.

I snicker every time I hear how Casey is some moderate Dem in “pro-life” clothing. He’s a convenient “pro-lifer” when he needs to win an election until he has to go back to the Senate and cave on social issues he’s supposedly for or against.
