Abortion advocates “front and center” at Democratic National Convention
Included in the speaker’s list for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte are Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards, NARAL Pro-Choice America’s Nancy Keenan, and Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University Law student who has become the new face of the war on birth control.
Putting reproductive rights luminaries front and center at the convention could be seen by many activists as a signal that this year politicians will be forced to be honest about their true intentions when it comes to a woman’s right to control her reproductive choices.
However, an even more pro-woman, pro-choice stance can perhaps be read in the lack of acquiescence to “Democrats for Life,” which once more tried to soften the party platform to let those who oppose abortion feel more welcome.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Their small-tent, “abortion on demand and without apology or you hate women” stance is going to cost the Democratic Party greatly over the long term.
Now we now what the Democratic party stands for. They stand for the obliteration of the innocent child in the womb.
@Kelsey is right! That is why I could never be a Democrat.
Poor Dems for Life. They deserve a voice. I am not a Republican though I sometimes vote that way. The Dems hardline anti-life position leaves people like us outside. Way to spell INCLUSION, dembots.
Democrats for Life need to get a clue and WAKE UP.
If they are TRULY for life, they need to jump off that fence and campaign with Artur Davis and Mia Love. If they still insist there is room for them at the D-table, then Life, obviously, is not THE imperative for them.
There is no room in the Democratic Party for pro-lifers. That whole Sestak debacle is proof that their political agenda is more important to them than their conscience, and thus more important than where they will spend eternity.
…”politicians will be forced to be honest about their true intentions”…
Can i get an amen?
I hope all of these proaborts are prime time speakers. Americans want to hear about jobs. We want to hear what these politicians are going to do to fix the economy. We do NOT want to hear demagoguery about a “war on women” and other nonsense. So yeah Dems, focus on abortion, and it will be Romney who benefits from your convention.
jsd – perhaps you meant the Bart Stupak debacle?
Besides Cecile Richards I hope the Democratic party doesn’t forget to do a tribute and spotlight Hermit Gosnell and Alberto Hodari as champions of women’s reproductive rights. In fairness they should acknowledge that along with Cecile Richards their dedication to providing abortion is as great as president Obama’s and they are responsible for ‘helping’ countless pregnant women who otherwise would have been punished with children.
The Democrat’s have shown a fierce dedication to their party but are really willing to ket Obama bring Cecile Richards (the CEO of the largest abortion provider in the US) as a speaker at their convention. If they do then they really have sunk to being a “party” of death.
Do pro-life Democrats need it spelled out any clearer?
Y.o.u. A.r.e. N.o.t. W.e.l.c.o.m.e.
It’s shameless in-your-face Chicago politics. Anyone thinking Obama might pivot like Clinton in order to win re-election, doesn’t understand how completely this administration and its 24/7 term-length campaign is in the Chicago Style.
This is a campaign that doesn’t just grab the electorate by the lapels, slam it against the wall and mutter threats in its face. It keeps slamming until the incredulous look of “what the hell ARE you” disappears and fear or fealty replace it.
If there’s an Achilles heel of this campaign, though, it’s that Americans outside of Chicago are not accustomed to double-down abusive power, and will reject a second term for the president from Chicago.
rasqual,
Oh, but Chris Matthews tells us we can’t refer to “Chicago politics” because apparently only blacks participate in Chicago politics, dontcha know?
Right, right!
We’re obviously trying to make people think of all them black folk workin’ the Obama campaign staff back in Chicago. That’ll scare all them white Republicans!

LOL
And while I’m at it, mocking the incredibly diverse and inclusive Obama campaign, is anyone else sick of seeing young folk wearing keffiyehs — apparently, always, as some way of making a trendy fashion statement? I mean, goth is dead and gone and this gauche crap is still around? It’s unseemly.
Whenever I hear the words, planned parenthood, I think, ‘Planned Prostitution”!
I think one of the reasons that the polls show that our prolife numbers are rising, is that prolife people are having larger families then the democratic/mother earth lovers. The children of the followers of God, honor God’s command to go and fill your quiver with children. Their children respect life more. Second the ultrasound video of moving, kicking babies and not a clump of lifeless cells has put that “window to the womb” front and center in the pregnancy crisis centers!
The democratic party is killing their own, in their wombs.
Their leadership also isn’t following God’s commandment, thou shall not kill!
Parents who have their children in public schools, need to guard against the faulty teaching of humanism! We can lose their hearts and minds if we are not observant!!!!!
Just some thoughts…………..
Ms Cecile Richards is the highest paid Grand MADAME of “Planned Prostitution” thanks to our tax dollars. The younger they can initiate adolescent girls the happier they are. It is BIG business for them.
Oh they need to keep yapping!! Cecile dear please DO keep yapping on and on and on about “reproductive justice” and “women’s reproductive rights” and the “right to abortion care.”
We aren’t buying what you are selling and you don’t speak for all women.
Especially not the women that have been devastated by their abortions. You certainly aren’t there to help us now are you Cecile???
They can go on record and rally their base in the fight to stop the ‘woman haters who would otherwise stand in the way of women’s reproductive ‘health’ choices by demanding abortuaries have doctors on staff or hospital admission privileges. It should get a standing ovation at the D&C convention next week. God help us.
You would think they would know better than to focus on these types of issues when most of the public is not on their side. I guess maybe they figure rallying the base to get out and vote is more important than attracting swing voters.
“D&C convention”
LOL :) That made my day.
This election will reveal where the soul of America currently resides and where it is headed. I can only pray for her.
“D&C Convention” - nice pun Truthseeker.
That it is how I am going to refer to it from now on.
Maybe they can invite that Indian abortionist who likes to kill “ugly” black babies. He is in Charlotte isnt he?
Sandra Fluke’s addressing the company? Well, no worries about a standing ovulation…
A lot of people are probably just attending for the free condoms.
It’s an Obamanation.
Planned Parenthood is sponsoring the punch at the D&C and it is spiked with oral contraceptives. They are also flying in prostitutes to teach sex-ed classes and Anthony Weiner has volunteered to be the mannequin for their demonstrations. They are also opening a free woman’s health clinic on site where they hope to showcase that Planned Parenthood does more than just abortions. Bill Clinton has volunteered to headline as the attending physician and he will be performing the free breast exams during the cancer screenings.
rasqual is a punny man.
omg….I was half joking when I said that they would be passing out condoms at the D&C. They are!!!!
