Democrats For Life of America was founded in 1999 to mobilize Democrats at the local, state, and national levels. DFLA’s primary mission has been to elect pro-life Democrats, support pro-life elected officials, promote a pro-life plank in the Democratic Party platform and achieve legislation that fosters respect for human life. Democrats for Life of America is one of over 200 member organizations of Consistent Life, an international network for peace, justice, and life.
“As a pro-life Democratic resident of Massachusetts, it is exciting to see these candidates receive this important endorsement” said Jack Cahalan, spokesman for the DFL chapter in Massachusetts. “I am proud of them for their advocacy for the whole life position. We know we can count on them to stand up for the unborn and all those who need assistance in our great state.”
The Massachusetts chapter of Democrats for Life has been recently reorganized. It is committed to building a strong pro-life advocacy group within the state and supporting pro-life Democratic elected officials.
