Democrats for Life of America Are Serious

pro-life democrats

Hattip to the ever alert Jay Anderson of Pro-Ecclesia.  Because Congressman Tim Ryan (D.Ohio) abandoned his pro-life position, Democrats for Life of America removed him from their national advisory board. This news story demonstrates Ryan’s transition to voting pro-abortion.  Interesting that Ryan abandoned the pro-life cause after the Democrats took control of the House in 2006.  I suspect that he is ambitious and decided that in a House run by pro-abort Democrats being a pro-lifer was not a career enhancer.  At any rate, as a pro-life Conservative Republican I salute the action of these pro-life Democrats.  It would have been better to boot him in 2008 after his changed voting record had become clear, but the main thing is that Democrats for Life have acted now.  Their action lends credence to the seriousness with which they view the issue of abortion.  Bravo!  (Two articles praising Democrats in two days by me?  I’m going soft!)

and I get in trouble for mentioning in a homily prior to the election (following Ms. Pelosi’s idiocy about the Catholic Church’s position re: abortion): ‘To be a pro-life Democrat is political suicide.’

Seems prophetic, huh?

Heh. Yes, Father. Even though on the prophecy scale it ranks up there with the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
