    Once upon a time Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, & Al Gore could all be pro-life Democrats. In today’s polarized world, a Dem from Alabama can’t even support a 20-week abortion ban.https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-cant-more-republicans-back-doug-jones-one-word-abortion …

        Oh I think very hard for a pro-choice Dem to win in the South. But notable that a few pro-life Dems still exist.

        But if you want to be a national player (like Tim Kaine) you don't really have a "choice."

        So.... in Alabama pedophilia is more acceptable than abortion?

        I’m saying that for some conservative voters, both things are deal-breakers.

        Could be, but it is looking like a segment of your party would vote for a pedophile over someone who is pro-choice.

        Women who have abortions beyond 20 weeks do so because their lives are in danger or their baby can’t survive. So no one should support a 20-week ban because all it does is kill women.

        Also? It’s a heart breaking choice, having to choose between your life and the life of a baby you want. It’s awful. It’s the worst thing I’ve gone through. Why you’d politicize it is beyond me. Do some research, @mattklewis.

        Because all of these "woke progressives" don't really care about abortion rights and don't understand that restrictions on late-term abortion are immoral and kill women.

        Do we think it’s the progressives pushing for limits?

        No, I'm just really sick of seeing "progressive" men with the hot take that abortion rights don't matter. If Dems stop caring about abortion, the right to choose will be gone.

        lol googled this guy and he's not progressive. He's just a Republican complaining about Democrats being pro-choice. 😂

        Have you actually talked to a woman who's had a post-20 week abortion? My friend Dafna, a CO State Rep, did:http://www.denverpost.com/2017/10/06/banning-late-term-abortions-is-cruel-i-know-because-ive-had-one/ …

        I had to have one at 22 weeks with twins and 20 weeks with my son. It was devastating. Wanted babies. My life in jeopardy. I don’t wish that choice on anyone.

        Democrats shouldn’t need to make decisions about any abortions? That decision is for doctors and their patients.
