I've had more than enough of those members of my party who march in lockstep with Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and those people who want to profit from the laboratory production and ultimate destruction of human beings to be used to obtain stem cells as raw material for production and research.
The Boston Globe reports that Scott Brown is pro-choice and he says he supports Roe v. Wade. Nevertheless, at the level of practical politics Brown has supported those reasonable restrictions on abortion access that are compatible with the jurisprudence of Roe v. Wade. That is something, I'm sad to say, the bulk of elected Massachusetts Democrats have been unwilling to do.
I'm also badly disappointed with the way in which the bulk of the Massachusetts Legislature and Governor rolled over in support of the Goodrich decision in which the SJCourt majority took over the legislative function of government and redefined marriage (which from time immemorial described a relationship based essentially on the sexual complementarity of male and female) as a relationship with no essential connection to sexual complementarity and the procreation of children. I fear the substantive long term effects of decisions like Goodrich will be negative from the perspectives of both religious liberty and the well being of natural family life, and children. One immediately negative effect was the forcing out of the adoption business of Catholic Charities in Boston, an agency which pioneered in placement for adoption of hard to place children.
These are the reasons why this Democrat supports Scott Brown. Perhaps by relating them I will persuade other Massachusetts voters to follow me. Perhaps a Brown victory will serve as a wake-up call to Massachusetts Democrats, and the Democratic party nationally to return to its roots (which it dramatically demonstrated it rejected when Governor Casey of Pennsylvania was denied a speaking role at the 1992 convention because he was not acceptable to NARAL) and truly support the most vulnerable of human beings and strong natural families.
