What is the Democrat
party platform on abortion?

Well, it is a consensus that they do support abortion; that is well documented. Do Democrats support late term abortions; do they believe a mother has a right to abort her child during the third trimester of abortion including until birth? Is Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal correct when she states: “They are extreme on abortion-no limits, ever.” Are some Democrat politicians on essentially acquiescing to infanticide?

Let’s consider the facts and look at their voting record. We see that every Democrat in the House with the exception of three, voted against the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The bill would, in most cases, make it unlawful to perform an abortion if the estimated age of the fetus is 20 weeks or more. Democrats blocked the bill in the Senate. See final House roll call vote below.

Subsequently, in January 2018 House Republicans passed the Born Alive Protection Survivors Act. However Democrat Senators blocked (motion to invoke closure) the bill in the Senate. The Republican proposed bill would prohibit a healthcare practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.

On that House vote, 187 Democrats voted against the bill, two Democrats supported it. (See roll call vote below.)
