The Abortion Memo -
The first pro-life rally on the National Mall was organized by the National Youth Pro-Life Coalition, which a co-founder described as “an extremely liberal group.” The National Catholic Welfare Conference endorsed a platform
that included a right to a living wage, a right to collective bargaining and a right to life from the moment of conception.
In 1971, Ted Kennedy could declare, “Wanted or unwanted, I believe
that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized — the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old.” And in the 1960s, conservative states like Mississippi, Georgia and Kansas passed laws legalizing abortion.

Re: Late-Term Abortions
Dear Democratic Leaders,
Last week I watched as our senators voted down the Republican bill that would have banned abortions after 20 weeks.
The abortion debate would no longer be an absolutist position on one side against an absolutist position on the other.
