Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez declared that support for abortion is now a requirement for anyone who wants to run for office as a Democrat. "Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman's right to make her own choices about her body and her health," Perez said. "That is not negotiable and should not change city by city or state by state."
"Democrats who believe that abortion is murder should keep this opinion to themselves for the sake of the Party," Perez explained. "We're not saying a person can't think this, only that he must not say this as it gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Destroying this enemy takes priority over religious dogma that places the well-being of embryonic tissues on an indefensible pedestal. As Democrats we hold that society's needs come before the individual's needs. Those who can't subordinate their scruples for the good of the Party have no right to call themselves Democrats."
Perez professed to be unconcerned with a recent poll showing that 28% of registered Democratic voters are opposed to abortion. "First of all, we're not saying that those opposed to abortion must get abortions," Perez pointed out. "What we're saying is that no one should be allowed to prevent another person from getting one. That includes refusing to pay for someone else's abortion with their tax dollars. Second, we don't think many of these so-called anti-abortion Democrats would leave the Party or vote against it because of this one issue when the very survival of the social welfare benefits the Party has pioneered is at stake. Is the life of an unwanted child really worth the sacrifice of these hard-won gains?"
