Bernie Sanders Is Building An Army To Stop Trumpcare Dead In Its Tracks In The Senate

61. You & I must be listening to a different Leader Pelosi...

And I'll certainly not argue over this with you for I have no desire to see a rehash of what transpired on this Forum during the past two years.

Our Leader in the House walked back the most excellent declaration made by Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez:

"Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body and her health. That is not negotiable and should not change city by city or state by state.

At a time when women’s rights are under assault from the White House, the Republican Congress, and in states across the country, we must speak up for this principle as loudly as ever and with one voice.

I fundamentally disagree with Heath Mello's personal beliefs about women's reproductive health. It is a promising step that the candidate now shares the Democratic Party's position on women's fundamental rights. Each candidate who runs as a Democrat should do the same. Because every woman should be able to make her own health choices, period."

His statement came out Friday, April 21. Senator Schumer practically immediately answered questions about what Perez had said, on the cable news networks, talking about how of course the Democratic Party was strongly Pro-Choice, but we're also a "big tent" (and he did put that "but" in there).

So now, jump to Sunday morning's Meet The Press, and Chuck Todd asks Leader Nancy Pelosi, "Can you be a Democrat and get the support of the Democratic Party if you're pro-life?"

She responded with, "Of course. I have served many years in Congress with members who have not shared my very positive, my family would say aggressive, position on promoting a woman's right to choose."

So, please, don't try to imply that I'm spinning anything or enjoy "attacking female Democratic leaders". I, too, pay very close attention to who is saying what, and more importantly, why they are saying such things. You may excuse it when a leading woman lifts up a flap of that tent to those who might take away our Right to Abortion. Not me.
