Beware the two words 'common ground'.That is just double-speak for 'I don't care what you believe, I'm going to do what I want while pretending to compromise'. But there is no compromise on abortion; you either think its ok to kill babies or you don't. And let's be honest; Barry's administration has NO interest in reducing abortion.
Pro-life and Catholic leaders have come out swinging against a bill offered by two pro-abortion House Democrats that deceptively proposes "common ground" on abortion, promoting policies to "reduce the need for abortion" that pro-life leaders say would actually lead to its increase.
The "Preventing Unintended Pregnancies, Reducing the Need for Abortion and Supporting Parents Act" (S.1032, H.R.2035) was introduced by Democrat Congressmen Tim Ryan and Rosa DeLauro this week. First introduced in 2006, the bill purports to "reduce the need for abortion" by increasing funds for the Title X Family Planning Program, which funds Planned Parenthood, and set aside grants for explicit sex education.
A Catholic who once held a pro-life record, Ryan has more recently begun voting in favor of abortion, including a recent vote supporting taxpayer funding for abortion in Washington, D.C. According to executive director Kristen Day of Democrats for Life, Ryan was recently fired from the group's advisory board due to his increasingly pro-abortion voting record.
Nonetheless, Ryan has been inaccurately touted as a pro-life sponsor to the bill, adding to its credibility as a compromise measure. A press release connected to the legislation quoted Rev. Joel Hunter, an "antiabortion-rights evangelical pastor" on the White House Faith-Based Advisory Council, who praised the bill as "a prototype for how we can approach things in the future." "When you realize you need someone who's been an adversary to help you advance your own projects, that's a big deal," said Hunter.
Pro-life advocates, however, have issued a sharp rebuttal to the "pro-life" tag attached to Ryan and his legislation. I think it is revolting when pro-aborts try to paint themselves as 'pro-life'.

Think of a venn diagram. Overlapping circles. That is common ground. the thing is, you have to disregard what isn't included, which is compromising morals in this case. Nothing good can come of it except being marginalized for your opponents sake. Then again these are democrats, who by and large tow the party line.
Planned Parenthood... Wasn't that founded by a eugenicist?
