Rep. Shuler wants more diversity in the platform
Sarah Pulliam
Rep. Heath Shuler spoke with me about the Democratic platform on abortion for about 40 seconds after the Democrats for Life Forum.
Shuler is a pro-life Democrat and a new Congressman from North Carolina.
"Obviously reducing the number is very important. There are other issues that I have a lot of difficulty with.
But I think with the panel we have today, and what I feel the influence of the blue dog members – Lincoln Davis and Bob Casey – we can strengthen that.
My hope is to say that within the platform of the Democratic Party, there is diversity and that we do have people who are pro-life."

Heath Schuler didn't do so well as a Redskin quarterback. But it's good to see him in elected office, and it's exciting to see that he is a pro-life voice within the Democratic party! I'll be praying that that voice will be unflagging and effective and that he will start a wave of change within the party!
