Bernie Sanders Seems to Reject the Very Idea of a Pro-Life Democrat

John Fea   |  February 9, 2020

John Gehring, the Catholic Director of Faith in Public Life, recently shared this video on his Twitter feed:

And then Gehring tweeted:

Consider how Barack Obama would have answered this question differently. And don’t forget that the Affordable Care Act would not have passed without pro-life Democrats. You can be strongly pro-choice and also believe in big tent progressivism. https://t.co/wK4KYxpXMf

President Obama in 2009: “Let’s honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion…as well as respect the equality of women.”

And Pelosi:

Nancy Pelosi: “This is the Democratic Party, not a rubber stamp party. I grew up in Baltimore, Little Italy, in a devout Catholic family. Most of those people, my family, my extended family, are not pro-choice. You think I’m kicking them out of the Democratic Party?”

A lot to think about here. I think Jimmy Carter is right.
