Liberty Lowdown: DNC Platform Pro-Choice Perfection
With Bush and McCain attacking choice so much lately, it's nice to know we still have someone on our side: the Democratic party.
Just this morning, the AP reported that the Democratic National Committee's platform committee has incorporated the strongest pro-choice language yet:
"The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right."
View Liberty Lowdown on YouTube.
This is thanks to our 37,000+ activists who spoke up and signed petitions asking the party to continue standing up for choice.
Remember, the 2008 Democratic National Convention starts in just two weeks on August 25th. NARAL Pro-Choice America will be there in force, but we need your help before and during the convention!

You can skip posting my two comments but I just want to make sure you guys know how important it is to protect late term abortion, that's all. Obama has not been informed properly on it and I figured it's the pro choice movement's fault.
The reason that I posted this here is that the NARAL web form is not working for me on my mac.
