I'm not OK with running or funding anti-choice Dems. Pro choice but anti-abortion? Sure.

There is no reason to run an anti-choice Democrat.

Someone for whom abortion is against THEIR belief system, and notice I highlighted the "THEIR", can state that they are anti-abortion but pro-choice for those who don't believe as they do. It's that simple.

AND they can say they support free birth control, sex education and various other empowering methods to reduce the opportunity for women to find themselves in the position of having to make that choice.

Being anti-choice transcends being against abortion in terms of ones own personal beliefs. It means forcing those beliefs on other people.
