Anti-abortion Dems request platform change, plan protests ahead of convention
Ahead of next week's convention, anti-abortion Democrats are lobbying their party to fix what they describe as an "extreme" deviation on the issue that could effectively surrender certain states to Republicans in November.
"We should not cede large swathes of the United States to the Republican Party," read a letter signed by Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and dozens of other Democratic politicians.
The letter warns that the party's platform will alienate pro-life Democrats, and calls on the platform committee to reintroduce more moderate language from the party's 2000 platform.
Maybe some comments from democrats here at CF?
