DFLA Praises Democrats Who Supported the Partial Birth Abortion Ban
June 4, 2003Washington, D.C. -- – Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats For Life of America, a pro-life organization of Democrats, issued the following statement on the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act becoming law.
"We are thrilled that this historic legislation has finally completed its journey through the legislative process. Despite a likely judicial challenge from pro-abortion forces, we are celebrating this milestone protecting the unborn.
We praise the 17 Democratic Senators and 62 Democratic House Members who supported banning this barbaric procedure. They followed the will of over 80 percent of the American public who believe that this procedure should be banned and they adhered to the principles that we Democrats hold dear -- protecting those most vulnerable in our society.
As Democrats, we also support placing sensible regulations and restrictions on every other industry to protect the public. Why should the abortion industry be exempt from reasonable regulations?
Democrats For Life has over 20 state chapters trying to return the Democratic Party to its roots and back to the mainstream view of the American People. When we prevail, the Democratic Party will have returned to its founding tenets.
