Where Does the Democratic Party Stand on Gay Marriage and Abortion
What is the Democratic Party?
It is one of the major USA political parties. People who vote Democratic are also called “Liberals”. On the political spectrum, Democrats are considered to be on the left side while Republicans tend to be on the right side.
Here we will discuss some of the Democratic parties stand on controversial political issues.
1) Abortion-Democrats tend to be pro choice. Pro choice is the stand that it is the woman’s choice to keep the pregnancy or terminate the pregnancy. Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, National Organization for Women, and the American Civil Liberties Union are the leading pro-choice groups. Most major feminist organizations also support pro-choice positions. In the United States, the Democratic party endorses the pro-choice position. They believes that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare”. Most people who are pro choice are not pro abortion. Read the rest of this entry »

They proved this once again on Wednesday by voting in favor of HR800, a House bill to take away workers’ right to a supervised private ballot when voting for or against union representation.

The Two-Party System – A Catastrophic Failure
For a number of years now, respected pundits have lauded the American two-party political system as an excellent balance between the dictatorship of a one-party system and the instability of a multiparty system. Yet the two-party system has caused our country great harm. The Republican and Democratic parties have divided the American people over fundamental moral values, they have failed to rectify longstanding national problems, and their existence chiefly benefits special interest groups, politicians, and mega-corporate executives. Most unfortunately of all, however, the two-party setup does not represent the people of the United States.
Many people believe that political parties are essential in a democracy such as the United States. These individuals claim that since a democracy encourages dissent and disagreement, it is only natural that such differences of opinion will find expression in organized factions. But this strain of thought clashes with the judgment of our nation’s founders. In his Observations on History, Benjamin Franklin wrote that parties engender confusion. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay warned against the evils to the general public that a “spirit of faction” would cause. And George Washington refused allegiance to any political party during his eight-year service as first president of the United States.
