How 'Pro-Choice' are Democrats?
Reason.com ^ | 9/5/12 | Zach Weissmueller & Paul Detrick

The official Democratic Party platform "strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay."

Reason TV talked with Democratic delegates and supporters at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and found that most were on board with the party's strong pro-choice stance. But when pressed to talk about whether or not they were pro-choice in areas of human activity beyond abortion, delegates and supporters seemed less certain and, at times, outright hostile to the notion of increased choice. 

Approximately 4 minutes.

Produced by Paul Detrick and Zach Weissmueller.

Abortion is the only choice liberals approve of.

They are not pro-choice at all. They are pro-ABORTION, it just not have a good sound to it because of what it is. They cannot say that the are “Pro-baby-killing” so they pick a word that sounds nicer, “choice”. However, the only choice you have is the choice to kill your baby before its born if you are a woman. All other choices are left to the government to decide
