Hey,
this could be progress. About time last year, the
Democratic National Convention booed when the platform committee tried to backtrack
and add a mention of God that had been earlier removed. In Iowa, at least
Democrats have gone back to openly praying, but perhaps they should be hoping
that God isn’t listening:
They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with
a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by
pro-life activists at the same time nearby.
Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a
half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer
funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as
“a blessing”.
During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler
Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes
closed, joining in the group prayer.
