Story Continues Below

  That is, Democratic Party policy is designed to undermine informed decision-making by providing only selective – and heavily spun -- information in order to ensure that the greatest number of women and young girls snuff out the nascent human life growing within them.

The notion that the pro-death leftists sell -- that abortion is fast, easy, painless and devoid of risk or cost -- is a lie and, as real choice demands real truths, these lies make impossible the Democrats' claim to being pro-choice.

One might fairly wonder why Democrats would want to provide misinformation and disinformation in order to trick women – especially the young – into having a grisly medical procedure performed on them.

The answer lies in the fact that the Democratic Party is composed of people who believe in nothing bigger than self. In the words of former feminist leader Tammy Bruce – someone who knows the mindset and the workings of the radical left intimately – Democrats are typically "malignant narcissists."

Being narcissists the Democrats are little more than a collection of special interest groups kept "loyal" to the party only by the leadership's kowtowing to each and every one of their demands.

Further, because the leadership and activists within these special-interest groups – the powers that be – tend to be the most extreme, Democrat politicians are forced to satisfy the most extreme demands of every one of their constituencies or face defeat at the polls.

In contrast the Republican Party, while surely filled with people with their own, differing agendas, is held together even in the face of most policy disputes because, unlike the Democratic Party, the larger issues of God, country and family take precedence over any self-serving agendas.

Rejecting God, holding America in no particular esteem and often too self-absorbed to be "held back" by raising children, vital Democratic party constituencies have only their selfish agendas rooting them to their party. If these groups find the Democrats do not satisfy their selfish agendas, they have no other reason to support them.

Included among these Democratic Party special-interest groups are several that consider a pregnant woman to be the ultimate debunkment of their groups' claims. To these organizations there is a vested – in fact, vital – interest in ending pregnancies as quickly and as often as possible.

Most prominent among these groups is the radical feminist movement, which sees its argument that there is no difference between a man and a woman except what society has thrust upon them exposed as pure folly each time a pregnant woman walks down the street.

In order to keep their radical positions viable, then, these "walking billboards" to the absurdity of the feminists' claims must be removed from public sight. Thus they demand – and the Democrat politician accedes – that any and all abortion practices be made legal and that nothing that might dissuade a woman from having an abortion be made public.

Similarly the radical homosexual movement, which seeks to sell the concept that there is no difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality, sees the product of the union of man and woman – something they cannot create themselves – as overwhelming evidence that their claims are patently ludicrous.

Obviously there is a huge difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals when only one type of union can create life. Like the feminists, then, the radical homosexual movement has an overriding interest in seeing abortions performed more, and not less, often.

Clearly these radical positions fly in the face of the vast majority of reasonable people, yet most Democrats are made to support these extreme positions by the demagoguery the left employs. In a rather "Orwellian" maneuver the Democrats have (at least to some extent) succeeded in convincing the "moveable middle" that any questioning of even the most radical and grizzly of abortion practices is the extreme position and that what is to be feared is not the coercing of children into having medical procedures performed on them for the benefit of Democratic Party constituencies but rather the people who dare to question these practices.

Rejecting the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade ruling and returning to the states the opportunity to decide for themselves the people's position on this difficult issue is not only reasonable but also what our Founding Fathers would have demanded. It is also far more about real choice than are the Democrats' lies (of commission and omission) designed to coerce the uninformed – especially young girls – into having a medical procedure performed upon them that is life-ending for the child and often disastrous for the patient but of great value to various Democratic Party constituencies.

While the Republican positions may mean some people have to travel a few extra miles or (gasp) take an extra day to think about the effects of offing a nascent human life, the position of the Democratic Party is to quickly kill, have someone else pay for the killing, and even sell a couple of trinkets from Planned Parenthood's gift shop on the way out the door.

The Democrats are so pro-abortion, in fact, that the Planned Parenthood gift shop used to sell a T-shirt proudly proclaiming "I Had An Abortion" – a selling tool as surely designed to promote abortions as John Deere hats are intended to increase tractor sales. The notion that one celebrates an abortion with a T-shirt, as if the medical procedure is a night to remember akin to a Green Day concert, speaks to the depth of sickness behind the Democratic Party's policies and its true, pro-death, agenda.

Real choice requires advocates for the people – doctors, parents and other caring adults – who provide access to all of the information, not just agenda-driven partisans providing only that which will encourage the "sale" of their desired, and deadly, outcome.

Yet those in our schools and the abortionists themselves do not advocate for the student or the patient but only for the pro-death agendas of the radical left. Rarely – if ever – mentioned by the teachers and abortionists, for example, is the lifelong psychological damage suffered by a huge percentage of women who have killed their soon-to-be-born children.

Neither are the realities of alternatives to abortion given the attention they deserve. Loving American couples are so desperate for children to raise and nurture and care for that they now travel halfway across the globe – to China and elsewhere – to find babies to adopt. This when so many women in America could give them joy and give their child life if only this loving alternative weren't given such short shrift by the pro-abortion Democrats and the abortion industry professionals.

This denial of information is particularly telling in an era when doctors are required to discuss in detail the possible ramifications of all other medical procedures and pharmaceutical companies are forced to announce in their TV commercials every single side effect of a cold pill, no matter how rare and unlikely their occurrence, for fear of being attacked by yet another Democratic Party special interest group: trial lawyers.

The Democrats' desire (as repeated yet again by the party's most recent standard-bearer, John Kerry) to sever the parent-child relationship is meant to prevent the young woman from receiving the total picture regarding the effects of snuffing out a nascent life. In the Democrats' plan, parents – who cannot be counted on to be pro-abortion – are cut out of the equation, ensuring that the only "guidance" young teens will receive before having a medical procedure performed on them comes from the leftist "educators" in the schools and the abortionists themselves – neither very likely to offer information that goes against their own political agendas and selfish motivations.

Telling, again, is that here in California, the leftists argue that 12-year-old children are mature enough to decide for themselves if they want a medical procedure with lifelong consequences performed on them without so much as a conversation with their parents, but 17-year-olds aren't thought mature enough to decide what kind of soft drink they'll have with their lunches on high school campuses.

Make no mistake about it: The Democratic Party is not pro-choice, it's pro-abortion and pro-death. Since I am (reluctantly) pro-choice and very much pro-life, even on the abortion issue I have one more reason to reject the Democratic Party and remain firm in my support and appreciation for the Republicans.

Although there are legitimate disagreements within the Republican Party about abortion – when life begins, for example – returning these decisions to the people and offering true counsel while advocating not for radical constituencies but for mother and child are the least we can do and they should be something that everyone agrees on and seeks to advance. Thus, even if one is pro-choice, the Republican Party is your party, just as it is mine.
