Wait, there’s a pro-life Democrat?
Via WFB:
A Democratic Congressman publicly trashed one of his fellows recently, telling theWashington Examiner that the lawmaker’s pro-life stance is like racial segregation.
Democrat Rep. Dan Lipinski (Ill.) is in the midst of a fierce primary fight after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee failed to uphold its promise to publicly back him. The seven-term congressman opposes abortion, making him one of only two remaining pro-life Democrats in the House.
Several of Lipinski’s House colleagues have taken the rare step of endorsing his primary opponent, Marie Newman.
“I don’t think we can support someone who does not believe in the legal right to reproductive choice,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) told the Examiner.
Khanna went on to compare Lipinski to “someone who might support racial segregation,” the paper reported, and rejected the argument that Democrats should accept candidates who take stances contrary to the party line simply to win certain races.
