This will go nowhere. Democrats are never permitted to speak before any national meeting if they advocate life or criticize the abortion industry.

You got that right. The people quoted in the article don't even pretend that there is room for party movement. They are just a "small group of dissenters" who are trying to tee off on emotionally charged issues.

Belittling the grievances of group in question is no way to keep them in the fold. As more young people have had a chance to grow up in a "pro-choice" environment and have decided they don't approve, teh Dems will have to change their stance or become an urban center only party with no national clout.

And don't these fools know that democrats are not, under any circumstance, allowed to believe that an unborn baby is anything other than a mass of non-living tissue?
