Democrats for Life act like the term "oppose abortion" is somehow innocuous.  Like the usual Republican anti-abortionists, they rarely say what "oppose abortion" means.  Do they want to criminalize it?  If so, how? Do they want federal supremacy in equal protection and due process cases overturned so that states decide these matters, including gay marriage, legal sodomy, contraception and the rights of Catholics in the south or Latinos not to be considered whites and therefore without protection? Do they want Congress to decide the issue of when personhood begins and if so, when? If they succeed, will only abortions be punished or, in like all contract killings, women too? Are they willing to forestall criminalization and instead seek adequate incomes for parents with children (adequate according to USDA is $1000 per child per month) through tax credits?  How they answer these questions determines whether the platform changes.  Being vague does not.
