In a statement released Friday, Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez said:
“Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body and her health. That is not negotiable and should not change city by city or state by state.”
“At a time when women’s rights are under assault from the White House, the Republican Congress, and in states across the country,” he added, “we must speak up for this principle as loudly as ever and with one voice.”
Perez is singing this new tune after getting lambasted by the far-left wing of his party for supporting pro-life Democrat Heath Mello, who is running for mayor of Omaha, Neb. The DNC chair had, ironically enough, voiced his support for Mello during a recent nationwide “unity tour.”
The pro-abort radicals at NARAL were having none of that, calling the DNC’s support of Mello “politically stupid.” NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue had this to say about the idea that Democrats would support life, “The actions today by the DNC to embrace and support a candidate for office who will strip women — one of the most critical constituencies for the party — of our basic rights and freedom is not only disappointing, it is politically stupid.”
“Politically stupid” is thinking that all American women share Hogue’s radical views on life. Tom Perez, however, folded when faced with the prospect of the DNC losing the deep pockets of special interest groups like NARAL.
