You may have hit enter to fast judging by how that trails off. But you are returning to your argument which was immediately jumped on. Why do you think Democrats are for unlimited abortions? Why do you think incorrectly that most Democrats don't hold the positions of most Americans? About 40% of Republicans oppose efforts to make it more difficult to get abortions. About 25% of Democrats support efforts to make it more difficult to get an abortion. Why are the Republican who think we are going to far not heard from when there are debates about abortion in just about every Democratic meeting I attended? I suspect is because it was part of that media drumbeat that pro-life people can't be heard in the Democratic party. It was a lie then that a governor was not permitted to speak at a national convention because he was pro-life and it suits some people to keep repeating the lie about those extreme Democrats. (He was not allowed to speak because he hated Bill Clinton and appeared on national media repeatedly saying he was not fit to be President and had not indicated a change in his views once Clinton won the primaries.)
