Yet if we accept the premise that the unborn child is a life worth protecting, then ending that pregnancy is the termination of that life, and to put it bluntly, it's wrong. Wade, the landmark case that established the constitutional right to abortion care in the United States. January 22 marks the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Pro-life activists counter-demonstrate as pro-choice activists participate in a "flash-mob" demonstration outside of the US Supreme Court on Januin Washington, DC. This leaves me torn: The possibility of the Supreme Court ending Roe is problematic for reasons of legal precedent and because doing so will lead to more laws and policies that will lead desperate women to more abortions, not to mention the baggage that is often attached to these laws (the bounty system in Texas, for example). We live in a world in which the "pro-life" party will move Heaven and Earth to protect the unborn but will not life a finger once that baby is out of the womb.īut we also live in a world in which the pro-choice party seems to push back on any restrictions on abortion at all. And yet, the liberal in me knows we don't live in that world we live in a world in which desperate women will choose abortion whether it's legal or not. This makes politics a complex conundrum even at the best of times, and even more so when thinking about abortion.Ībortion to me is at the very least a morally troubling practice which, in an ideal world, people would only consider to save the life of the mother. And I'm a Democrat because of my liberal commitment to the value of human equality. I'm pro-life because of my Christian faith. Many people also oppose aborting a fetus because of Down syndrome, something Roe also allows.Īnd for pro-life Democrats like me, it's even more complicated. For example, less than 30 percent of Americans think abortions should be generally legal in the second trimester, something Roe made legal. Wade, they oppose some of what it stands for. As the New York Times' David Leonhardt pointed out, though most Americans support keeping Roe v.

pro-choice is complicated even for many who support Roe v. The truth is, the question of being pro-life vs. Wade, which enshrined access to abortion as a constitutional right. So I'm conflicted about the news of a SCOTUS opinion that seems to show the Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe v. For us, neither party represents our views on abortion. That combination might surprise you, but I'm not alone I'm one of the 30 percent of Democrats who is pro-life, who votes for the Democrats not because of abortion rights but despite them.
