Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - The Democrats' platform on abortion is sure easy to sum up: not safe, not rare -- and always legal! If you tuned in to the Fox News last night for the Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton debate (and based on the ratings, you probably didn't), there couldn't have been a starker contrast with the GOP candidates, who are competing to make life a bigger priority in their campaigns. And based on the political landscape, it's no wonder. Apparently, the last seven years of President Obama's extreme policies have resulted in fundamental change -- of people's minds!
Americans are more pro-life than ever, though you certainly wouldn't know it from two of the six remaining candidates. Surveys, state laws, and even the turnout for a blizzardy March for Life all point to the country's rejection of Obama's radical agenda, which Clinton and Sanders clearly share.
Asked Monday if they support "any restrictions" on abortion, especially late-term abortion, the senator from Vermont replied, "It is wrong for the government to be telling a woman what to do with her body... I am very strongly pro-choice. That's my view." Of course, his non-answer answer didn't address voters' real concerns, which are that Democrats believe in unlimited abortion, underwritten by taxpayers -- right up until the moment of birth. Interestingly enough, Bernie didn't mind invoking life later, claiming that "being a human being" guarantees one the right to health care (unless, apparently, you're the unborn kind of human being).
Secretary Clinton, the official choice of "pro-choice" Planned Parenthood, was next.
