Is there still a place for us in the party, because you desperately need our votes, asks Democrats For Life Of America executive director KRISTEN DAY

In January 2020, I went to a town hall meeting in Des Moines, Iowa to ask Pete Buttigieg, then a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, a very important question.

'Is there room for people like me in the Democratic Party?'

This was at the height of the primary season and pro-life Democrats, like me, were looking for a candidate who supported pro-life voices.

We had already lost then-frontrunner Joe Biden.

Just one day after re-affirming his support for the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for most abortions, he caved under pressure and declared that he opposed it.
