Subject: The D's Seem to Finally Get it
In reply to: 's message, "I'm sick of hearing about Bob Casey" on 10:16:29 01/10/05 Mon

I think the D's are finally when it comes to "choice" (as they like to call it despite the very lack of choice in the matter for the unborn baby). Basically, it appears as though many D's in leadership are going to allow for pro-lifers to exist in the party in the same way pro-choicers are in the R's. The dominant view is in favor of choice but the party will be open to different views. This is long, long overdue. I hope we can rebound some of the momentum ceded to the R's based exclusively on this issue. For years I've felt as there are many D's who would rather have pro-life Republicans get elected than pro-life Democrats.
