Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his supporters are working to win over voters who want to ban or reduce abortions with a call for measures to help women keep their babies.

The party’s platform supports the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal and adds a twist, saying the party “strongly” backs a woman’s decision to carry a pregnancy to term.

What a revolutionary idea. The Democrat party has decided to switch gears in order to woo pro-lifers by backing a woman’s decision to have a baby. It’s a stunning, Messianic change in policy!

Seriously, though, there’s nothing new here. They’re not changing their pro-abortion stance. Nobody was opposed to mothers keeping their unexpected babies (except for the Margaret Sanger, eugenecist-fascist wing of the party). They’re just promising more cheese for those who decide to keep their babies. Expansion of the welfare state? Check. Don’t threaten Roe v. Wade? Check. Keep federal funding for abortion in tact? Check.

Yep, they’re still Democrats.
