Where Do Pro-Life Feminists Belong?

As the Democratic Party scrambles to redefine itself in the wake of Hillary Clinton's loss, a woman's right to abortion has emerged as a central issue. Though both parties once counted pro-life politicians in their ranks, the Democratic Party has more recently enshrined a pro-choice platform. That stance is in contention, however, as the party considers its demographics and its get-out-the-vote strategies for upcoming elections. By now, it's widely known that white Christians, including Catholics in once reliably Democratic Rust-Belt states, contributed considerably to Donald Trump's victory. The party, with newly elected chair Tom Perez at its helm, is now working out how, or if, it should win those voters back.
