While Planned Parenthood is providing free abortions at the DNC, Democrats For Life is conducting a diaper drive to support local Chicago families. Help by donating here.
Pete Buttigieg just told a pro-life, Democrat *woman* she has no place in today’s Democrat Party. All she asked for was a recognition there is diversity of thought on the issue and that it be put in the platform language. He said no and told her to deal with it.
The last abortion clinic in Mississippi closed its doors today. Question: If they care about women, why didn't they stay open to provide prenatal and postnatal care?
I received messages from my fellow Dems telling me to stand down&this is not the time. Pro-life Dems are tired of being marginalized, told to sit in the corner&keep quiet. We standing up for human rights&protecting life. It is ALWAYS the right time for that. Join us&win!
It's unbelievable that a sitting U.S. Senator would tell such a blatant lie. The standard of care for miscarriage remains the same in every state. It's important to distinguish between miscarriage care and abortion - they are not the same.
We're in a world where doctors have to tell women in the middle of a miscarriage they can't get the medical care they need because they're not near enough to death, and that they need to hemorrhage in the parking lot for a few more hours.
Donald Trump's Supreme Court did this.
I don't hear any abortion rights activists talking about providing support for pregnant women. I hear talk of transporting women to another state for an abortion. How about supporting women where they are with pregnancy support, jobs, support to stay in school, and real choice!
Pro-Life Democrats will NOT leave the Party to be controlled by the abortion lobby. We are serious about protecting ALL life and advocating for whole life policies from womb to tomb. Here is our FULL PAGE ad in today's New York Times.

People say I should leave the Democratic Party. Pro-life voters leaving the Party led to the current push for abortion extremism. I am going to stay and fight. Join me in taking the Party Back from the abortion lobby.

I am so disappointed in
@JoeBiden
. He, like so many others, has sold out to the abortion lobby. Apologizing for a record of opposing federal funds to end the lives of pre-born children is shameful. Taxpayer funding of abortion is wrong.

I'm listening to
@VP
as she discusses the costs of diapers, car seats, and baby clothes. Do you know who helps with those costs? Pregnancy Resource Centers. Instead of demonizing them, we should stop the attacks and connect families with resources.

Abortion advocates claim that overturning Roe will bring back forced sterilization of disabled people who should have the right to bodily autonomy. At the same time, they advocate killing disabled people in the womb.
Common sense prevails at the Supreme Court. Little Sisters of the Poor can practice their faithful service without being forced to provide contraception and abortion. 7-2 ruling!
Abortion activists are responsible for the Roe being overturned. They overstepped by celebrating abortion and advocating for it for up to 9 months. The Democratic Party embraced these extremists leading to Republican majorities all over the country.
A quick update: Together, we've raised $6000 to provide diapers for financially insecure families, and we've already made our first delivery to the South Side of Chicago. Our goal is to donate over 13,000 diapers by the end of the week. Thank you all for your incredible support!

Today I asked
@amyklobuchar
if there is room in her coalition for pro-life people. She said yes of course. I asked if she’d try to find common ground on bringing down the number of abortions.
She said “Yes. Yes.” And told me about her work in the adoption caucus in the Senate.
Opposing ultrasounds before an abortion is the antithesis of feminist empowerment. What kind of feminist would advocate for hiding factual information from a woman so she can make an informed decision?
Poor women don’t want money for abortions; they want the same opportunities to parent as their rich counterparts. A 2016 Politico/Harvard Poll, indicated that voters making less than $25,000 OPPOSE using Medicaid funds for abortion (only 24% favor). Shame on Biden, not Bravo.
Bravo to
@JoeBiden
for doing the right thing and reversing his longstanding support for the Hyde Amendment. It takes courage to admit when you're wrong, especially when those decisions affect millions of people.
Now do the Iraq War.
You are endangering more women by spreading the lie that women will no longer be treated for ectopic pregnancies. Women will be treated for ectopic pregnancies & miscarriages no matter what state they live in. If a doctor won't treat them, he/she is not doing their job.
Poor guy. He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him.
The least they could do is let him eat cake 🍰
Providing free abortions at the DNC is a concerning display of disrespect towards human life and motherhood, as it overlooks the need to provide support and options for a pregnant woman. We expect no less from Planned Parenthood. It's just shameful how low Democrats have sunk.
It is a sad day.
@SenBobCasey
has officially sold his soul to the abortion lobby voting for abortion funding, killing viable preborn infants after 20 weeks, and voting to allow ending the lives of children with down syndrome. What would his father say?
People who spread false information will cauae harm. Women may not seek treatment for miscarriage or ectopic pregnacies because they are told it is illegal. It is not illegal to treat ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage in any state.
There is a systematic effort by the abortion lobby to bully pro-life Dems into voting against their conscience. Shamefully, many Dems cave. I am extremely proud of
@RepLipinski
for sticking to his principles, in the face of threats & millions spent by the abortion lobby.
A funny thing is happening. Pro-abortion activists are starting to argue we should use religion, not science, as the basis for when human life begins. I don't think that will work out the way they want.
Thank you,
@Sen_JoeManchin
. On behalf of 21 million pro-life Democrats, we commend your courage and commitment to stand up and do the right thing to protect women and their preborn babies.
The abortion industry is making a full-fledged effort to eliminate regulating their business and eliminate any health and safety protections for women seeking an abortion. How is that in line with Democratic values???
Not all Democrats want to codify Roe. 20 Million of us want to look forward not back. We need a culture that supports pregnant and parenting families. We need more support and equity for poor women to have the same opportunity to parent as the wealthy.
How Democrats help to build Republican supermajorities. Bully, exclude, and refuse to support pro-life Democrats until they leave the Party. Add one more Republican supermajority to the list. I think it is upward of 22 now. Don't quote me on that.
You can keep saying it but it is not true. Abortion is destructive for the baby and the mother. Not health care by any stretch. I giess your prioritize killing babies over lifesaving care for our sick and elderly.
Abortion is essential health care
Abortion is essential health care

What will you do to earn the support of the 21 million pro-life democratic voters? We are politically homeless because of abortion extremism. Will you moderate your position? How can we trust you after your flip flop on Hyde?
Whether you supported Pete, Amy, Beto, or any other candidate in this race — know that there is a home for you in our campaign. I will do everything I can to earn your vote.
Wouldn't it be nice if my own Party would recognize that pro-life Democrats support all these things & also extend human rights & protections to the tiniest humans?
You know, a policy that ends discrimination against pro-life Dems within the Party would actually save lives.
Wouldn't it be nice if pro-lifers focused on suicide prevention? Or ending the death penalty? Or fighting poverty? Or curbing hunger? Or stopping gun violence and police killings? Or combating the opioid epidemic? Or ending wars?
You know, things that would actually save lives?
Requiring doctors to provide healthcare to babies who survive abortion is humane and just, not extreme. Why would democrats oppose providing healthcare to the most vulnerable? Real dems support healthcare for ALL.
Today, instead of joining Democrats to condemn all political violence,
@HouseGOP
chose to push their extreme anti-choice agenda.
Democrats believe everyone deserves the freedom to access reproductive health services – without fear of violence, intimidation or harassment.
I am a pro-life Democrat and a woman. Will you listen to me or just women you agree with? I think health and safety regulations should apply to abortion clinics. They should not be exempt.
As my friend,
@RalphNortham
, would say. There’s no excuse that a group of legislators, most of whom are men, should be telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies.
This is why the red wave is coming. Democrats advocate for killing your baby to thrive in school. How about pregnant and parenting support instead? We shouldn't pitt mothers against their babies.
Just to keep it real, I had to sign a consent form to allow the school to give my child a cough drop. Planned Parenthood clinics in some schools can refer & counsel children about abortion & how to get one w/out their parents knowing. Keep abortion providers out of schools!
Pro-life and pro-choice friends. What kinds of legislation or initiatives do you support to hold men more accountable for the lives they create? So much of the strain and the blame are being put on the women. What measures, if any, do you suggest to ensure men's accountability?
We need to stop the rhetoric that scares women into thinking they won't receive necessary medical care.
Thank you for sharing this critical fact
@cbrentboles1
I will repeat: Ectopic care IS NOT AN ABORTION in any state in the union.
Prolife doctor working today in a Catholic hospital in Florida where the ‘evil abortion ban’ is ‘killing’ women who have ectopics. Met my patient in the ER less than 15 min ago, and we are already on the way to OR for her ectopic, because ectopic care IS NOT AN ABORTION.
I’m not calling on other pro-life Democrats to walk away. I’m calling on them to work with me in putting pressure on our presidential candidates to work for us—not for the abortion industry.
1.) My pro-abortion fans seem to have missed the point of the case at the Supreme Court this morning. The case is about health and safety standards for women to take a particular drug. Pretend it is not an abortion drug and follow me.
I have met more "former Democrats" than "former Republicans". Why? Because the more extreme the Democratic Party goes on abortion, the more people leave the Party. People who support reasonable regulation of abortion are targeted and kicked out.
Yes. Open the big tent to pro-life voters. Democrats should work toward making abortion rare through support such as supporting pregnancy resource centers, affordable childcare, reasonable regulation of abortion & paid maternity leave. Abortion extremism is not unifying.
Fellow Democrats: Want to beat Trump? Make more room in our party for pro-life Democrats. Midwest, Latinos, Purple States! New poll finds "dramatic shift" on abortion attitudes - Axios
Irony: Attacking grown men for dating teen girls but fighting like hell to protect their right to bring their victims across state lines to get an abortion without parental consent.

Can you please expand on this statement to include the preborn children? Or be clear that you believe that some life is expendable.
Every time I met a Yang supporter, they made a pro-life argument on why we should support their candidate. They were respectful, inclusive and mindful of the importance of the big tent. They would stand with us as Democrats. Keep fighting for the common good!
#YangGang
If you see a mother of seven being confirmed to the highest court in the land as political and not a celebration of women, you just made a political statement. You are saying if you are pro-life and religious your accomplishments cannot be celebrated or recognized.
@girlscouts
Earlier today, we shared a post highlighting the five women who have been appointed to the Supreme Court. It was quickly viewed as a political and partisan statement which was not our intent and we have removed the post.
Abortion is NOT healthcare. Abortion is NOT healthcare. Abortion is NOT healthcare. Abortin is NOT healthcare. Support healthcare for ALL - including pre-born babies. Support pregnant women.

Not really. This speech was not about abortion. It is the dr's personal opinion & had nothing to do with this speech. She was chosen to speak by current students & faculty for her professionalism as a doctor & teacher. The future doctors should have stayed & listened to her.
Roe is a 50-year-old legal opinion written with 50-year-old medical information. It is time to look forward, not back. We need to look for ways to reduce abortion and bring forth a new day where no woman believes abortion is her only choice.
This fall, we must elect more senators and representatives who will codify a woman’s right to choose into federal law. We need to elect more state leaders to protect this right at the local level. We need to restore the protections of Roe as law of the land.
I have heard Fannie Lou Hamer's name a few times. I would like to remind everyone of a famous quote from Fannie Lou Hamer. "I believe legal abortion is legal murder."
We have made herculean efforts to save lives during this pandemic. It is past time for the Democratic Party to extend those same protections to pre-born children. The Democratic Platform for 2020 needs to be moderated.

@TheDemocrats
Pro-choice and pro-life people can unite around women. We cannot allow this leaked document to divide us further. Our elected leaders must stand up in unity and call for calm.
For those of you who think you can be called pro-life and then support legislation to allow doctors to kill babies without regulation or oversight, you are incorrect. You are not pro-life.
For all the warnings about SCOTUS overturning Roe & causing back-alley abortions, it is ironic that it is actually the FDA creating dangerous back-alley situations for women with their decision to allow abortion by mail. Terrible anti-women policy by the Biden Administration.
Pro-life activists stop a hearing on a sneaky abortion bill. The leadership tried to convince us that it was not about abortion. They did not want to hear our proof that it was.
You can dress abortion up as "abortion care" or "reproductive justice" but it doesn't change the fact that you are ending the life of a child. Abortion doesn't care about the baby nor does it provide justice for this tiny human.
This is a big problem for Democrats. They have moved from pro-choice to pro-abortion. For a party that purports to advocate for the poor, they should understand that abortion doesn't solve poverty; it causes harm for both mother and child. There needs to be a wake-up call.
Tulsi:.. members of Congress walking around with an abortion pin.. Not just advocating for but celebrating abortion on demand with no exception, all the way to birth or after birth. Normalizing infanticide. We have seen this in New York and other states.
If you watch this interview in its entirety, it is truly disturbing. Regardless of your position on abortion, she is no hero to anyone. Shame on Planned Parenthood for their continued defense of her.
In 1957 Mike Wallace(father of Fox News’ Chris Wallace)interviewed Margaret Sanger,founder of
@PPFA
.
She told him what she saw as the greatest sin in the world is.
She also couldn’t say that infidelity is a sin😐
This is rotten root of Planned Parenthood.
Instead of using taxpayer funding for abortion, let's support programs like Save the Storks which advocates for alternatives to abortion, and then support the women who choose life during and after their pregnancies.
Good job to the U.S. House for keeping the bi-partisan & long-standing Hyde Amendment in place. The 2020 Democratic Candidates need to follow the lead and look for ways to help poor women parent rather than advocating to pay for their abortion.
Agree, but you should not say it is ok to end the lives of babies who are considered unwanted and use taxpayer money to do it because we don't have these other things. The Dem Party should be consistent in protecting all life. Don't make excuses for killing babies. It is wrong.
I know the religious right gets paid lots of money to tell Christians that Democrats want to kill babies, but the truth is that no society can care for its children, born or unborn, w/out investing in healthcare, living wages, racial justice & plans to address the climate crisis.
This week I filed HB3129, which codifies that a father’s financial responsibility to his baby & their mom begins at conception.
If Oklahoma is going to restrict a woman’s right to choose, we sure better make sure the man involved can’t just walk away from his responsibility.
Becerra is the wrong choice to lead a nation during a pandemic. He is more concerned about expanding abortion and trying to convince women that abortion is healthcare. DFLA urges a NO vote.
