Pro-Life Democrat Helps to Defeat Planned Parenthood in Virginia

"Feminist groups originally aimed their ire at Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who introduced the legislation. But they soon found a new target: Senator Charles Colgan, a pro-life Democrat who broke party ranks to cross the aisle and vote with Republicans.

Colgan faced withering opposition from within his own party in the days leading up to the vote, yet held firm to his pro-life convictions. "It was pretty tough," Colgan told the Associated Press on the 27th. "They really wanted me to change my position, but I couldn't do it." His vote turned an expected 21 to 19 defeat of the amendment into a 20-20 tie, which in turn brought in Lt. Gov. Bolling to cast the ie-breaking vote against Planned Parenthood."

Yes, in the eyes of the party leadership they are - all 43% of them.

 

That's true as one can be pro-liife without supporting the overturning of Roe v. Wade due to the dramatic social upheaval it could cause. This is the reason why I have my doubts that if there were 9 Samuel Alitos on the U.S. Supreme Court that Roe v. Wade would be completely overturned.

Of course, simply overturning Roe v. Wade, by itself, will not stop one single abortion from taking place.

 

Sixty-seven percent of Democrats would outlaw some or all abortions. - ​
