re: Cardinal: Democratic Party ‘Now Slams The Door’ On Catholics

A pro-Life Dem just got renominated for Congress in IL, in a district that is heavily pro-Choice. Democratic Governor of Louisiana is pro-Life. Democratic US Senator from PA is Pro-Life. The pro-Life position is a minority position in the Democratic Party but we do have pro-Life elected Dems.

1. Lamb isn't pro-Life. He says he'll vote to support abortion rights in Congress. Given that, his personal opposition to abortion isn't worth anything.

2. Lipinski barely survived a primary challenge, and he was targeted primarily due to his abortion stance.

3. I can literally count on two hands how many Pro-Life Democrats in high office we have. Lipinski, Cuellar and Peterson in the House, Casey, Donnelly and Manchin in the Senate, and John Bel and the Governor of Puerto Rico.

That's 8 out of 260 (counting Angus and Bernie) Governors and Members of Congress. About 3%. Meanwhile one survey said the % of Democrats that are Pro-Life is 22%.
