Democratic Presidential Candidates Continue to Reinforce Pro-Abortion Positions.
Nine candidates are seeking the Democratic nomination for president to run against pro-life President George W. Bush. All nine candidates - - ex-Illinois Senator Carol Moseley Braun, ex-Vermont Governor Howard Dean, Senator John Edwards (NC), Rep. Richard Gephardt (MO), Senator Bob Graham (FL), Senator John Kerry (MA), Rep. Dennis Kucinich (OH), Senator Joe Lieberman (CT), and Rev. Al Sharpton - - are trying to out-do each other as to who can be the strongest advocate of abortion on demand.
In January, the first six candidates to enter the race - - Dean, Edwards, Gephardt, Kerry, Lieberman, and Sharpton - - addressed a pro-Roe v. Wade gathering of the pro-abortion group formerly known as NARAL. In one of the last interviews he gave, the late New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D), who was no pro-lifer, told the New York Times that it was unfortunate that the first time all the Democratic presidential hopefuls got together was to endorse abortion. Defense of partial-birth abortion, Moynihan said, "was not right with the American people."
On May 20, EMILY's List, a PAC that supports only Democratic women candidates who support unrestricted abortion, held a conference in which seven of the candidates attended, reaffirming their support for abortion.
Several of the candidates vigorously attacked the kind of judicial nominees that President Bush has been putting forward. Dean said, "This is the most conservative far-right president that we have had since I have been alive and he has appointed the most conservative, far-right judicial appointees in my lifetime."
Kerry told the group, "The Supreme Court is at stake in this race as never before in modern memory." And Edwards stated that President Bush's judicial nominees "will take your rights away." He continued, "If we as Democrats don't have the backbone to stand up and fight for that, we don't stand for anything."
Kerry and Kucinich have been very upfront about having a litmus test for Supreme Court nominees, should they be elected president.
At a meeting in Iowa, Kerry was asked "if he would appoint judges who ...
