The New Yorker, Nov. 14 An article looks at the Democrats' softening line on abortion in the lead-up to midterm elections, focusing on the decision to tap Robert Casey Jr., a pro-life Pennsylvania Democrat, to run against Sen. Rick Santorum. Ironic, as the Democrats distanced themselves from Casey's father, Robert Casey Sr. (as in Planned Parenthood v. Casey) over abortion in 1992. As Sen. Charles Schumer explains: "Democrats have to be a bigger-tent Party. And the day should be over when a potential candidate has to check twenty-seven boxes before we support him." … Another piece examines flaws in our litigation-based medical malpractice system. Even though doctors spend enormous sums on malpractice insurance, few harmed patients ever learn what went wrong or receive compensation. What about creating a non-litigation system of redress? The problem, the article claims, is that "even if each doctor had just one injured and deserving patient a year … complete compensation would exceed the cost of providing universal health coverage in America."—B.W.

One size Democrat tent fits all. Right?

Nothing but crap. These despicable, lying, pro-babykilling scum couldn't care less about the unborn.
Why do they even care? These people are worthless human debris who care nothing for anyone not old enough to vote.
But I thought they were the party of inclusion. I guess I was wrong. Thanks for clearing that up, BIO.
But at least they care about the voters, L. I mean...isn't that something.

As a writer you may know this. It has been well said by the 19th Century German poet Wolfgang von Goethe that you can quickly judge a person's character by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. Who better fits into that predicate than the unborn?
I'll believe in the existence of pro-life Democrats when they advocate for the overturn of Roe, Danforth, and Casey... the last case, fittingly, being named for a Democrat who tried to bring the pro-life position into his party and was crucified for doing so.
In all truth, they probably arborted them long before they were even born...
Like a condom right? LOL Amen.
The DNC is (and has been for years) seeking pro-life Democrats to run in areas where being pro-life gets them votes. It's about votes not babies.
As I understand it, the democRat party is spending a lot of time trying to determine what their core beliefs are. Reckon they have any?
Can anyone recall what Bill Clinton got out of that exercise? I remember him going away on a retreat to Camp David so he could find out what he really believed. But for the life of me I can't recall any revelations from his mountain-top experience.
These people are amusing.
Is Robert Casey Jr really pro-life, or is he another stealth pro-choicer?
How did you guess? :)
