Democratic Party 'Goes Radically Left,' Jones Says

With one of the most extreme pro-choice organizations in America, EMILY’S List, coming to Oklahoma to host a joint training seminar with the Oklahoma Democratic Party, the ODP has made it clear they are "going radically left," Republican Party Chairman Gary Jones said today.

"We are talking about a group that vehemently supports partial-birth abortions in America," says Jones. "The fact that the Oklahoma Democratic Party would lock arms with this group is a tell-tell sign that they are taking their marching orders from the radical liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and are out of touch with everyday Oklahomans."

EMILY's List, Jones said, has withdrawn its support from women who vote against the most extreme abortion procedures, like partial-birth. For instance, Mary Landrieu, the Democratic Senator from Louisiana, lost EL's backing when she voted in favor of a ban on partial-birth abortion. The U.S. Senate recently passed a bipartisan ban, 64-34, on the practice of partial-birth abortion, and the vote was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. "Oklahoma voters deserve a straight answer from the Oklahoma Democratic Party if they in fact support the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion."
