Democrats Reverse Decision Requiring Candidates to Support Abortion: Party Members Freak OutU.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan's comments on a big tent Democratic Party conflicts with those of Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, who, back in April, made the extreme statement that only those Democratic candidates that support abortion would receive party backing.
U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, who is chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the party would have to "be a big family" if it wants to regain control of the U.S. House and should not withhold financial backing from candidates opposed to abortion.

The Democratic Party has struggled since then with the election results and finding its way forward. "As we look at candidates across the country, you need to make sure you have candidates that fit the district, that can win in these districts across America," Lujan stated. "To pick up 24 [seats] and get to 218, that is the job. We'll need a broad coalition to get that done," he said. "We are going to need all of that, we have to be a big family in order to win the House back." Lujan's statements have drawn predictable pro-abort ire... Click here to continue reading.
