Langevin (D-RI) challenged in primary over Pro-Life Stance

IHas the Democratic Party become so devoid of any moral values whatsoever that they will not tolerate candidates who believe in the sanctity of life?   

The Democratic party IS pro-life. They advocate politicies like sex education, access to birth control, and helping to lower the rate of poverty. Policies like these lower the number of abortions without the government being able to control a woman's body.

The number of abortions was at a 24-year low at the end of Bill Clinton's second term. The number of abortions has gone up EVERY YEAR under President Bush. Tell me which party is pro-life?

The Republican "pro-life" agenda is a bunch of hypocrisy.

To call the Democratic Party "Pro-Life" is laughable.  In 2002, Daschle wouldn't allow a vote to ban partial birth abortions, a barbaric practice to say the very least.

Abortions went way down under President Clinton. Abortions have gone up every year under President Bush. As for PBA's, they rarely, if ever, happen. And like Smash said, the bill didn't contain a provision for the health of the mother.

Education and fighting poverty are of course Republican goals and programs as well as Democrats. 

You're kidding, right? Every Republican economic policy is designed to help the rich and hurt the poor. What Republican policy has helped reduce poverty? The number of those living in poverty has gone up by 14% or 15% since Bush took office in 2001. And "No Child Left Behind" has not even come close to solving the education problem in this country.
