Here is the 2000 DNC party platform. While there are attempts to make it inclusive later on, the actual text lays out unconditional support for abortion as a choice. Here's the text.

"The Democratic Party stands behind the right of every woman to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of ability to pay. We believe it is a fundamental constitutional liberty that individual Americans - not government - can best take responsibility for making the most difficult and intensely personal decisions regarding reproduction. This year's Supreme Court rulings show to us all that eliminating a woman's right to choose is only one justice away. That's why the stakes in this election are as high as ever."

Whether all Democrats are pro-abortion or not isn't the case. Casey Jr. (for instance) isn't...but the party platform is, as stated above, is to keep abortion safe, rare, and legal. That is a moral worldview that views infanticide as an acceptible choice.

Thanks for posting it but I think most are aware of it. I certainly was. It is however irrelevant to the charges made by another poster.
