How "Pro-Choice" are Democrats?

The official Democratic Party platform "strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay."

Reason TV talked with Democratic delegates and supporters at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and found that most were on board with the party's strong pro-choice stance. But when pressed to talk about whether or not they were pro-choice in areas of human activity beyond abortion, delegates and supporters seemed less certain and, at times, outright hostile to the notion of increased choice.

Approximately 4 minutes.

Produced by Paul Detrick and Zach Weissmueller.

OHHhhh, it must be an election-type-thing again! They're talking about abortion. Oh it'll pass. They'll probably be talking about 'healthcare' and 'social security' too. But that's just the script. The shppe will go back to sleep and it's business as usual for the criminals in DC again.

Anyone who believes there are two parties in Washington DC is a fool.

99140: Exactly. They don't believe in the right to choose whether or not to have health insurance (my body, my choice, huh?) or whether or not to pay into social security.
