It seems to be a rather new phenomenon that the Democrat party is trying to attract morally straight-thinking folks who recognize the radical abortion-on-demand stance as diametrically opposed to their point of view.  How are the Dems doing it?  They are consistently claiming that they want to make abortion as safe as possible and as rare as possible.  Their solution of course is as much contaception as possible (as we all know, contraception has led to abortion as Pope Paul VI predicted it would) which is fallacious. But it seems they are cautious about how loudly they talk of reducing the number of abortions.  For example, this from Obama’s website:

“Thirty-five years after the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, it’s never been more important to protect a woman’s right to choose…With one more vacancy on the Supreme Court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a women’s fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe v. Wade. The next president may be asked to nominate that Supreme Court justice. That is what is at stake in this election.”

“When South Dakota passed a law banning all abortions in a direct effort to have Roe overruled, I was the only candidate for President to raise money to help the citizens of South Dakota repeal that law. When anti-choice protesters blocked the opening of an Illinois Planned Parenthood clinic in a community where affordable health care is in short supply, I was the only candidate for President who spoke out against it. And I will continue to defend this right by passing the Freedom of Choice Act as president.”

I saw a really good editorial comment all about this on the new RealCatholicTV.com, from a guy named Michael Voris.  He starts out with the thesis that all Democrats have ever done about abortion is lied.  They claimed that abortion must be legal due to all the hundreds of thousands of back-alley abortions taking place; since then, the man who made up the fake statistic they always cited has confessed to making it up.  They’ve said that it’s just “tissue.”  Biology has proven otherwise.  They’ve said “it’s just potential human life, and doesn’t have rights until the state says it does.”  So now to top it off, they say they want to reduce the number of abortions.  The best argument that proves this is just another lie is one of basic logic.  If there’s nothing wrong with abortion, if the “right to choose” is a basic human right, then why would a Democrat suggest that there’s any good reason to reduce the number of abortions?  It makes no sense – why try to dissuade me from exercising this most basic of human rights?

It’s worth watching this video…Mr. Voris has a substantial level of bravado and may be a shade over the top, but it’s simply to illustrate his points and the absurdity of the claims.  Check it out.
