Reply #65: Single defining issue?

[mulethree]

"Of the 292 Democrats in the House in 1977, 125 were "pro life" (leaving 167 pro choice). Today there are 28 "pro-life" Democrats in the House (leaving 177 pro choice).

So there has been almost no change in the number of people we would now consider "Democrats" "

So we no longer consider them dem's if they're pro-life? Even if they are with us on many of the other dozens of issues we care about?

I am all for Pro-Choice
- Ballot access and election reform
- Campaign finance reform
- An economy robust enough to have a choice of jobs
- The choice to work for a small business instead of a faceless
conglomerate.
- Military enlistment as a choice instead of a draft
- The choice to do whatever I want in the privacy of my own home
- The choice to not recieve spam, junk mail and telemarketing calls
- The choice to break the law without a penalty out of proportion
to the crime.
- The choice to stand up for your rights without the threat of
having to pay an opponents inflated legal costs if you lose.
- The choice of a local or state government to make their own
laws instead of having more and more forced down from a
federal level.
- The choice of a woman to continue a pregnancy or not.
