Do you think it could ever be possible to have the Democratic party to a stance against abortion?
November 22009
Right now I am not registered democratic or republican. I lean towards being a democrat, but I am against abortion. Do you feel their are many democrats that are anti-abortion? Maybe a significant minority?
Excellent Question!
I certainly hope so. When Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, the Democrats were extremely powerful. Now the country is virtually a one party state [that is, Republican!].
The abortion issue has destroyed the Democrats. Half the nation will always vote against the D’s because of this one issue. Roe v. Wade has given the Republicans an extremely powerful weapon against the Democrats.
There is a strong trend for young Democrats to be anti-abortion which gives hope to the party. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania and Harry Reid in Nevada are two prime examples. I think it is the wave of the future.

Why don’t you just mind your own business? Then abortion wouldn’t be such a huge issue.

I believe that most Democrats think that a woman’s body is her business and she shouldn’t be shackled by the government. That being said, not all Democrats agree.
