The National Democratic Party has approved its most pro-abortion platform ever, and Pro-Lifers must take notice.
The platform outlines past and ongoing efforts that the Biden-Harris administration has initiated to promote abortion. The administration is pressuring pharmacies to distribute abortion pills, funding abortions for military service members, and even requiring every emergency room in the country to kill preborn babies.
The new Democratic Party Platform proudly declares that “with a Democratic Congress, [they]will pass national legislation to make [Roe v. Wade] the law of the land again.” Democrats have repeatedly tried to reinstate Roe in recent years, but a narrow Republican majority in Congress blocked their efforts. If Democrats retain the White House and Senate and gain a few more seats in Congress, they will aggressively advance their abortion extremism.
In fact, the Women’s Health Protection Act, the Democrats’ pro-abortion bill, goes far beyond “codifying Roe.” Roe at least allowed states to pass some Pro-Life laws restricting abortion in pregnancy due to an interest in safeguarding “potential life.” However, the Democratic Party’s proposed legislation would prohibit ALL state Pro-Life protections.

It does not end with legal abortions nationwide. The Democratic Party’s platform also promises to repeal the critical Hyde Amendment if they gain power. The Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of any federal funds for abortion, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother’s life. This life-saving policy, in place since 1977, has enjoyed support from both parties, reflecting the shared belief that taxpayers ought not to be forced to fund something so morally controversial. However, under a Harris administration, Democrats intend to change that.
The Democratic Platform remained unchanged even when Biden dropped out of the race. The platform promises that “in his second term, President Biden” will fill the FDA with ideologues who will support abortion pills, despite their dangers to mothers and their preborn children. Of course, Biden will not serve a second term. But, the unchanged platform signifies Harris fully intends to pursue the same agenda. This extends beyond the bureaucracy, as Harris intends to appoint biased judges who will ignore the constitutional Right to Life in the name of progressivism.
Some believe that the fight to protect preborn Life is over, at least here in our state. This is far from true; abortion companies continue to ship illegal pills into Texas and women travel to other states for abortion. Nevertheless, we have made significant Pro-Life progress in the Lone Star State. However, this new Democratic Party platform warns of how much more danger preborn children will be in, even in states that currently protect Life.
If Harris and the Democrats retain the White House while gaining a few seats in Congress and the Senate, they will enact their anti-Life agenda.
