The Democratic Platform currently contains language to allow taxpayer funding of abortion. National polls have consistently demonstrated that most Americans do not support the government paying for abortion. In fact, a February 2012 Quinnipiac University poll (national sample of 2,605 registered voters, margin of error ±1.9 percentage points) found that nearly thirty percent of Americans would not vote for a candidate with whom they disagreed on abortion but agreed on other issues. The Democratic Platform language should be inclusive and endorse the views of all Democrats. Doing so would resurrect the Blue Dog Democrat so sorely needed right now in the South and Southwest...

I agree but does anyone care about platforms?

Ronald Reagan had a joke about platforms--

Seriously though, I thought there was already a law that forbid public funding of abortions.

from your posts I'm starting to think that dems in North Carolina would be considered republicans anywhere else.

Are you a republican in disguise? Or are you just a reasonable democrat supporter? Either way, I think a certain member posting here should take note of your posts, and notice the reason within them, and notice that no one is trying to chase you away. Even in a few posts you have made thus far where I disagree with you 5000%, you have made your points in a reasonable and friendly manner.

See that, WS, it IS possible! :beer:
