What a surprise coming from the party of free birth control and abortions for everyone! The Democratic National Convention has banished the presence of all babies and children from their convention floor.
They must have realized it might make their abortion-palooza a little awkward.
The Blaze reports,
It’s a recurring gag that Presidents have to do a lot of kissing babies. If so, President Obama must be really sick of that particular ritual.
Why? Because the Democratic National Convention has just banned children from the convention floor — including breastfeeding babies — unless those children have convention credentials. Which, needless to say, is relatively unlikely.
It is not clear what motivated this particular policy. However, in a development that may surprise some people, the move has infuriated the party’s feminist luminaries. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem issued a statement to the Charlotte Observer slamming the policy:
“Women are the key to a Democratic victory, and sometimes, children are the key to women,” Steinem said in a statement. “It’s both right and smart for the Democratic Convention to behave as if children exist.”
The National Organization for Women has also lept on the bandwagon, slamming the DNC’s no-child-policy as sexist because it amounts to an “insurmountable barrier for mothers.” Given that the convention has also refused to provide child care in any way (though private child care vendors will be listed on a convention directory), this arguably isn’t much of an exaggeration. The RNC has taken a more mild tack, and only banned strollers from the convention floor.
Feminist Gloria Steinem advised the Democratic Party “to behave as if children exist”. Unless, of course, they’re inside the womb.

Why would any OBOZO-supporting d-cRAT socialist woman even have a child? Isn’t it MANDATORY for them to abort every fetus?
Lewis Colby commented:
The ban te easily understood. The last thing the Democrats want is for network cameras to show mothers breastfeeding or children playing while ‘der leaders’ extol the ‘vritues’ of baby killing.

This caucus is being formed to establish a national network of Democrats who advocate for animal welfare.
Description All states have individuals who are alarmed by the treatment of animals. The NYS Democratic Committee has passed resolutions in favor of animal rights and in favor of humane education. It is hoped that other political entities within the Democratic Party will do the same. John Phillips, former Executive Director of the New York League of Humane voters and Lewis Goldstein, a delegate from New York who is on the Executive Committee of the New York State Democratic Committee are forming this caucus. At the initial meeting we plan to honor Democratic members of Congress who have been in the forefront in fighting for animal rights.

This supports their baby-killing abortion stand:
No Kids, Inside or Outside the Womb. Period.
It’s the Leftist, Democrat War on Women.

They do behave as though children exist; that’s why they banned them. I don’t think children belong at either convention.
Red commented:
Im with you Gracie, keep the brats out of professional adults meetings, i.e., political conventions!
lonestar commented:
If only they had aborted those kids, there wouldn’t be a problem.
RickS commented:
Hmmm, but wait a minute. I thought it was only Republicans who don’t care about children after they’re born. At least that’s what I’m always being told by Democrats.
Tim in Cali commented:
No babies at the DNC convention ?
but,you can still register them to vote.. OK
The DNC Doctrine..55,000,000 babies murdered and counting
That’s 9X more babies murdered than Hitler killed Jews (It’s for the children)
Spider commented:
How about banning anybody that doesn’t have the maturity level of a 12 year old?
Place would be empty.
