DNC forum explores: Can you be a Democrat and be pro-life?
DNC forum explores: Can you be a Democrat and be pro-life? They still did not go far enough. They should have highlighted that abortion is NOT a legislative issue unless the GOP is willing to deal with the equal protection problems of recognizing life in the first trimester having to do with criminality and miscarriage (or agrees to ignore them and compromise at the outset of the second). Further, enabling pregnancy and adoption is not enough, nor is preserving social services. One must gaurantee family income (starting by increasing the Child Tax Credit to $500 per month per child per level of government and making it refundable - that means both state and federal credits). The bishops need to pay such a salary bump, even before such a cut is enacted - and if they don't we should shame them into doing so.
