One can be pro-life and be a Democrat. We all own our own bodies and if such a Democrat gets pregnant, they are free to have that child because of their deeply held personal belief.

The real question is can a Democrat be a "forced birther"? That is the difference. A person that is pro-life personally does not approve of abortion and lives their life accordingly. A person that is a forced birther is a person that forces their own opinion upon everyone.
