In reply to the discussion: What the fuck is going on with this anti-choice shit? What bizarro world have I stepped in to? [View all]dsc
(52,210 posts)There are 6 anti choice Democrats in both Houses of Congress. When Reagan was around we had dozens of anti choice members of the House including the number 3 Democrat. He later became the number 2 Democrat. Al Gore ran as an openly anti choice Presidential candidate in 1988 (he came in third). Kucinich had to flip flop on abortion in 2004 to run a single issue campaign for President. The only anti choice Dems left are legacies (Casey, Lipinski) have served for a very long time (Cueller, Petersen) or accidental (Donnelly). Anti choice Democrats have all but disappeared from office. They can't win primaries except under very rare circumstances. Under Reagan we had a significant percentage of anti choice Democrats in office. Our party has moved vastly in the pro choice direction.
