Durbin: As Long as Candidates Back Roe V. Wade, They Can Be a Part of Our Party

‘But when it comes to the policy position, I think we need to be clear and unequivocal’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:
DURBIN: "Listen, I am committed to women’s rights under the law, reproductive rights certainly, and our party is. We have made that part of our platform and position for a long, long time. I know, within the ranks of the Democratic Party, there are those who see that differently on a personal basis. But when it comes to the policy position, I think we need to be clear and unequivocal. We need to be understanding of those who take a different position because of personal conscience. But, as long as they are prepared to back the law, Roe vs. Wade, prepared to back women’s rights as we have defined them under the law, then I think they can be part of the party."
