JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO ENSURE A BIG TENT!
Support Respect and Tolerance within the Democratic Party

NOT ALL DEMOCRATS agree that the heinous crime of abortion should be undemocratically forced upon our nation, our families, and our children, yet incredibly the National Democratic Platform and the party’s platform in many states ignore this glaring reality. Pro-Life Democrats should not be made to suffer bigotry, discrimination and second-class citizen status within a party whose leaders claim is a “Big Tent“! Our party’s leaders must practice what they preach, or step aside. It’s as simple as that!

The Florida Democratic League (FDL) fully supports language on this issue that respects, welcomes, and represents all Democrats, not just a few.  The Democratic Party must be able to campaign and effectively compete in all 50 states, not just in the blue states! We must prove to the American people that the Democratic Party respect all positions on the abortion issue and is not an appendage of the abortion lobby.

Even if you personally don’t agree with respecting and upholding the unborn child’s right to life, surely you can personally agree with respecting and protecting the right of every Democrats to think and vote their conscience on this and every issues!

How can you help? Here are 3 simple ways.

1.) Contact your local Party leaders and tell them you support the respectful, non-discriminatory language listed below.

2.) Ask 10 of your friends to contact their local Party leaders and do the same.

3.) Make as big or as small a contribution you like to the FDL (see our address below) so we can continue working towards a more welcoming, respectful, non-discriminatory party.

Proposed Platform Language to Unite Democrats Around Historic Democratic Principles

“We respect the conscience of each American and recognize that Democratic Party members have deeply held and sometimes differing positions on issues of personal conscience, such as abortion and the death penalty. We recognize the diversity of views as a source of strength, and we welcome into our ranks all Americans who may hold differing positions on these and other issues.

We commit ourselves to finding common ground. We believe that we can reduce the number of abortions because we are united in our support for public policies that assist families who find themselves in crisis or unplanned pregnancies. We believe that women deserve to have a breadth of options available as they face pregnancy including, among others, support and resources needed to handle the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, adoption, and parenthood; access to education, healthcare, and childcare; and appropriate child support. We envision a new day without financial or societal barriers to bringing a planned or unplanned pregnancy to term.”
