Democratic Party Draws A Line In The Sand On Abortion Rights

56. Good, this is the sort of thing I want to see from the DNC

Taking up at least a few social and economic issues and *unapologetically* standing behind them no matter what. It's been one of my complaints about the DNC in general and hopefully this is a good sign that there will be positive change here. No more wishy-washiness.

Hopefully, it will apply to existing representatives like Manchin and Donnelly so that they can either get on board or get out. (Not that choice is my only issue with these types, but it's a start.)

While I understand that every representative is not going to support all the same things 100%, and that there is some room for differences, there are certain fundamental rights that are not up for debate, and choice is one of them.

Having standards is a necessary and good thing. We can't just support any candidate who decides to put a D next to his or her name. The things a candidate stands for *matters* and matters a lot.
