Democrats must support a women's right to choose. Period. [View all]

If you personally are pro life, and if you personally would not opt to have an abortion, that's fine.

But if you try to impose your personal view on abortion on any other woman other than yourself, you are not a Democrat, or a Democratic ally.

Women's rights are human rights, and this is non negotiable.
