The left flank of the Democratic Party is ramping up efforts to target and isolate pro-life Democrats, as the party base mobilizes over restrictive new abortion laws being passed in states across the country.
While the party once tolerated both pro-life and pro-choice Democrats inside the tent, those with pro-life views are being told they aren’t welcome anymore. The shift comes as the policy debate becomes increasingly polarized. Conservative Alabama passed a virtual ban on abortions last month — and some Democratic presidential candidates have openly supported the right of a woman to terminate a late-term pregnancy.
“As a party, we should be 100 percent pro-choice, and it should be non-negotiable,” New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who is running for president in 2020, recently told The Washington Post.

Split the party with political correctness purges before the vote, what could go wrong. You can always just ramp up the vote fraud to cover your shrinking vote pool right?
“As a party, we should be 100 percent pro-choice, and it should be non-negotiable,”
Pro-choice, but only so long as that choice isn’t life.
Shocking! There are still pro life dims?
They’re gonna purge *both* of them? Yikes!
They aren’t purging Casey.
Yeah. And I'm getting ready to do something about those pesky dodos running around here.
GOOD Now maybe they will be mad enough to vote for DJT in 2020.
