Since being elected as chairman of the scandal-plagued Democratic National Committee in late February, Tom Perez has frequented headlines for all the wrong reasons, namely making clear exactly how far left the Democratic Party has veered. On Friday Perez made news again by spelling out where the party stood on abortion: If a Democratic candidate wants the DNC’s support, he said, being pro-abortion is “not negotiable.”
After initially signaling that there was room for pro-life Democrats, Perez made clear in a statement on Friday that the party under his leadership would no longer tolerate anyone who did not hold the orthodox “pro-choice” position. The pro-abortion left is of course cheering Perez’s declaration as a major victory for the euphemistically named “reproductive rights movement.”
