Getting back to the OP:

Jimmy Carter need not worry. I am a pro-life Democrat and I have never had trouble finding a place in the tent.

there use to be a time in (not so long ago) when Americans participated in the primaries of both Parties. Unlike most countries that have multiple Parties to reflect the peoples' true views we are only stuck with 2.
Couple that with the fact that almost no one in this country votes (we historically have the lowest voter turn out) and you are left with both Parties essentially being controlled by fringe elements & big corporate business. 
The poor of this nation need the Democratic Party. There will always be those who are downtrodden and disabled. And in a country separated by church & state and with a growing number of atheists who reject the Church we must have a Party that espouses the issues of the poor....

What Jesus would and would not approve of is irrelevant in politics. Religion should stay far away from politics. In spite of what so many want to believe this is not a Christian country. It is not a theocracy. I do not want to live in a theocracy. And for those who do. Iran is available.

you know what?    Jesus does not have to obtain an abortion if he doesn't want one.    no law saying he has to.        I would think that Saudi Arabia,   favored nation that it is is a better example than Iran.

Democratic policies are also more likely to be supportive of poor women who elect to give birth, as opposed to Republican policies which revere fetal life but show no interest in the well-being of poor babies after they are born.

 

Rich women have always had access to safe abortions and always will, whether they are legal or not.

The pro-life movement is about denying this privilege to the 'lower orders.'
