The head of the Democrat Party’s fundraising arm announced that his party is willing to fund pro-life candidates, and the president of Planned Parenthood responded with rage.
“There is not a litmus test for Democratic candidates,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman and New Mexico Rep. Ben Ray Luján told The Hill. “As we look at candidates across the country, you need to make sure you have candidates that fit the district, that can win in these districts across America.”
Luján’s goal is to wrest enough seats from Republicans to take control of Congress.
“To pick up 24 [seats] and get to 218, that is the job. We’ll need a broad coalition to get that done,” he said. “We are going to need all of that, we have to be a big family in order to win the House back.”
Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards undoubtedly supports getting more seats into the Democrat aisle, but the right to murder babies in the womb in “non-negotiable” to her.
Women’s health & rights are non-negotiable – incl. access to safe, legal abortion. We’ll hold any politician who says otherwise accountable.

Trading away women’s health and rights will just alienate one of the most powerful political forces in this country. https://t.co/6gHiEw3CHN

Access to safe, legal abortion is central to women’s economic empowerment and bodily autonomy.

Most of America agrees: 7 in 10 Americans support Roe v. Wade. Access to abortion has more support than any political party in the country.

We will never be able to move this country forward if we are leaving women behind. That’s why 4M marched in January – and keep showing up. pic.twitter.com/AeUl6REb1j

The future is female. It’s time for politicians to listen to women. They have three options: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

The future is female, except for the females they slaughter in the womb.
The anti-men sentiment in Richards’ comments was strong.
It’s time for a Women’s Democratic Party. I won’t follow male leaders who condone the abuse of women, which is what anti-choice is.

we need more women in government. period.

We really need a major effort to have women run for office to remove the abysmal among the men who are in office.

It should NOT be funded with tax payer dollars. I’m female, you do NOT speak for me.

What about the future females who are aborted? There is no female future if you kill them.
— JenNoCo (@nocojen) August 2, 2017
abortion kills the future. Sick choice of words.

Stop using this woman crap! This is about $$ and it conveniently finds its way to the D party through HUGE donations!!
— ConcernedCitizen (@wandandspell) August 2, 2017
I think you mean listen to LIBERAL women. By the way, the future is both male and female.
— Darkseid (@_Spasmolytic_) August 2, 2017
One would think that. Unless Richards has some way to make a future where there are only women work.
I identify as neither male nor female. Do I not have a future?
