After furor over remarks, DNC chair to meet with pro-life Dems' head

After furor over remarks, DNC chair to meet with pro-life Dems' head: After receiving backlash over saying that the Democratic Party should support only those candidates who support legal abortion, Democratic National Committee chairman Thomas Perez will meet with the head of Democrats for Life of America.

MGB:_Democrats for Life should be embraced for what they don't say, which is what they would do about abortion. It shows how much they have in common with the rest of the anti-abortion movement. They are at least useful fifth columnists in the movement. At best, they will embrace measures to reduce abortion, like a much more generous refundable child tax credit. Their main purpose, of course, is cannon fodder for the GOP. The Republicans identify their districts as electable and then tell some lie about them, like the Susan B. Anthony Fund did in 2010 to gain Congress. Any organization that causes the pro-life movement to demonstrate its cravenness is good for the Democratic Party and the nation.
