I hope the rest of the party is listening and will get on board. Unlike the Republicans, who have allowed pro-choice politicians to address their national conventions, the Democrats have not allowed the opportunity among their own ranks. What they don't seem to realize is that there are plenty of us who don't consider ourselves Republicans and don't want to be equated with the Religious Right but are put off by the Democratic leadership's pandering to Planned Parenthood, etc.
I'll be looking for a group near me.
In April, Democrats For Life of America (DFLA) joined Congressmen Tim Ryan, Bart Stupak, Lincoln Davis and other pro-life Democrats at a national press conference at the Democratic National Committee to unveil an innovative abortion-reduction proposal. The proposal they call the “95-10 Initiative” was released after months of research, political outreach and planning.
The 95-10 Initiative is a comprehensive proposal of 15 different policy programs that, when fully funded and implemented in coordination with each other, will hopefully reduce the number of abortions in America by 95 percent over the next 10 years.
“The 95-10 Initiative is our number one priority. While many talk about protecting life, we’re proposing a legitimate policy initiative that will actually reduce the number of abortions in America. The 95-10 Initiative has been met favorably by both pro-life and pro-choice advocates and elected officials,” said Kristen Day, Executive Director of Democrats For Life of America.
