Sixteen years after infamously denying pro-life Bob Casey, then governor of Pennsylvania, a speaking slot at their national convention, Democrats have invited pro-life Bob Casey, Jr., senator from Pennsylvania, a speaking slot at their national convention. Not to fear members of the Abortion Fan Club, the party is as enthusiastic about abortions as ever! Here's the new platform: "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right."

What kills me is so called 'democrats for life' will sing with joy about this, while their nominee is the most brutally pro-choice senator in history.

How about this speaker.....

"Barack Obama threw his pastor Jeremiah Wright under the bus for dissing Obama as just another politician. He will embrace Leah Daughtry, Wright's female liberation theology doppelganger, at the Democratic National convention for, as DNC Chair Howard Dean's chief of staff, he has "commissioned" her to orchestrate the convention.

Daughtry is of the same school as Wright, according to the profile the Old Gray Whore ran of her on July 20, 2008. As daughter to Herbert Daughtry, Wright's fellow traveler, Leah Daughtry has preached in her father's church with its "simple wooden cross hung on a brick wall in the vaulted and sizable sanctuary,... [and b]elow the sanctuary, in the fellowship hall, a banner for slavery reparations proclaimed, ‘They Owe Us.'"

When she speaks about black liberation theology and its author, James Cone, Daughtry's voice takes on an "extra passion." Daughtry doesn't distance herself from Cone's book "A Black Theology of Liberation" because she thinks Americans are more concerned about "disparities" in American society than they are about ideas dependent for their validity on Malcolm X's Islamic radicalism.

The excerpts of Daughtry's "sermon" which the NYT's Daniel Bergner quotes reflect Wright's anthropocentric rather than Christocentric sensibility that is the hallmark of liberation theology.

Obama will have no trouble embracing Daughtry. He may have tossed Wright under the bus, but he has never tossed Malcolm X who is the source of the noxious "theology" James Cone created and Jeremiah Wright taught him. He'll feel right at home".

Being a Libertarian, I think honest people can disagree about whether or not abortion should be legal -- even within the same party. I believe abortion is not a federal issue and Roe v. Wade should be overturned because it's a matter for states to decide. The part of the Democrat party platform that pisses me off is this, "regardless of ability to pay." That means Democrats believe the should be able to make people who think abortion is morally wrong to pay for the abortions of poor (read mostly black) women.

You're not calling the pro-abortion movement racist are you?
