There are indeed pro-life Democrats, such as Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey and former Congressman from Indiana Timothy Roemer. They and other pro-life Democrats are coming out strong for Barack Obama, even though he has opposed every restriction on abortion, including the bill to ban partial birth abortion.

They think the atmosphere of unity and transcending differences that Obama promises offer a chance to end the currrent deadlocks and to arrive at a consensus that will result in fewer abortions.
