Not when it comes to the unborn liberties of Children. The two parties are very different one recognizes the rights and liberties of the unborn the other is the party of death. I respect prolife dems but the party is dead, time to wipe their feet of that party.

"[b]Choice[/b]
[b]The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's
right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any
and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.[/b]

The Democratic Party also strongly supports access to affordable family planning
services and comprehensive age-appropriate sex education which empowers people to
make informed choices and live healthy lives. We also recognize that such health care
and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce
the [b]need[/b] for abortions."

"Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life

[b]Faithful to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life.[/b]

We have made progress. The Supreme Court has upheld prohibitions against the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion. States are now permitted to extend health-care coverage to children before birth. And the Born Alive Infants Protection Act has become law; this law ensures that infants who are born alive during an abortion receive all treatment and care that is provided to all newborn infants and are not neglected and left to die. We must protect girls from exploitation and statutory rape through a parental notification requirement. We all have a moral obligation to assist, not to penalize, women struggling with the challenges of an unplanned pregnancy. At its core, abortion is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life. Women deserve better than abortion. Every effort should be made to work with women considering abortion to enable and empower them to choose life. We salute those who provide them alternatives, including pregnancy care centers, and we take pride in the tremendous increase in adoptions that has followed Republican legislative initiatives.

Respect for life requires efforts to include persons with disabilities in education, employment, the justice system, and civic participation. In keeping with that commitment, we oppose the non-consensual withholding of care or treatment from people with disabilities, as well as the elderly and infirm, just as we oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide, which endanger especially those on the margins of society. Because government should set a positive standard in hiring and contracting for the services of persons with disabilities, we need to update the statutory authority for the AbilityOne program, the main avenue by which those productive members of our society can offer high quality services at the best possible value.

I understand that the republicans are better on Abortion (though their claim on the 14th ammendment is not even supported by Scalia). That does not mean they are not also a part of death, both parties are, particularly in regards to their foreign policy

[Didymus]

this doesn't change the fact that your title is still gravely misleading.

regardless of whether all bishops come to make this claim or not, none of them have yet.

Scailia isn't God. God gives us the right to live not anything or anyone else.

The republican party is the much lesser of two evils.

[StColette]

I believe it comes down to the individual political officials today, and not just the party. There are some Republicans who are pro-choice on several different issues such as abortion and euthanasia and some Democrats who are adamantly pro-life.

then how can we say the dems have a monopoly on death? (which seems to be what you are saying in stating that they are [i]the[/i] party of death..)

These people are part of the party which makes the party an evil one, but they are the not the majority in the party, the are a minority. The majority of the party is Pro Life, the majority of the Democratic party is Pro Death, and Pro issues counter to Jesus Christ.

The Republican party is wounded, the Democrat Party is dead.

They do not have a monopoly but they do have vast majority hold on death. It is not only death but things counter to Jesus Christ. The Republican party like it or not is more in line with Church teaching and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Republican does however have [b]great[/b] problems those evils which have made the Democrat party dead, are creeping and moving into the Republican Party.

Even if they were prolife, I wouldn't vote for them.

I own guns, and I believe the sole right to defend (taxpaying) life doesn't reside in the government.
