Pro-life Democrats were disappointed that this year's platform, which was approved and adopted about an hour ago here at the Pepsi Center, didn't include a so-called "conscience clause" recognizing the fundamental morality of Americans who oppose abortion. But Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL (and a member of the platform committee) just said something that sounded like a conscience clause to me:
Slogans and bumper stickers fail to acknowledge the profound complexity most people feel on the issue of abortion. We can honor and respect those opinions while still respecting the fundamental values of freedom and privacy.Check out my in-depth interview with Keenan from yesterday.--Dana Goldstein
