re: #328 Obdicut

Those aren’t the same lines though.

You made the claim that being ‘pro-marriage’ was harmful to Democrat’s chances of getting elected.

You have no support for this position whatsoever.

I would think that zero anti-abortion candidates have been endorsed by Moveon. I fail to see the relevance to this to anything whatsoever, since Moynihan was pro-choice, not anti-abortion.

Actually,

In the mid-1990s, Moynihan was one of the Democrats to support the ban on the procedure known as partial-birth abortion. He said of the procedure: “I think this is just too close to infanticide. A child has been born and it has exited the uterus. What on Earth is this procedure?” Earlier in his career in the Senate, Moynihan had expressed his annoyance with the adamantly pro-choice interest groups petitioning him and others on the issue. He challenged them saying, “you women are ruining the Democratic Party with your insistence on abortion.”[18][19]
