in the House or Senate who are supposedly anti-choice and have voted for anti-choice measures? I will go and check their NARAL ratings and post them.
If I find any who are actively voting for anti-choice bills, I will be glad to work for their primary opponents, but I need a list to work from.
Thanks.

But while the partys 2016 platform had a clear stance in favor of abortion rights, some argue the party shouldnt alienate its anti-abortion wing. The group lost one of its more prominent female voices in Congress when Rep. Kathy Dahklemper of Pennsylvania was voted out of office in 2011 after serving one term.
Here are the current Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate who consistently support anti-abortion legislation. At link...

(146,331 posts)NARAL ratings:
Joe Donnelly - 20%
Bob Casey - 65%
Joe Manchin - 0%
Dan Lipinski - 20%
Collin Peterson - 0%
Henry Cuellar - 50%
I'd recommend primarying Donnelly, Manchin, Lipinski, and Peterson (MN).
Casey and Cuellar, I'd have to dig further into.
I know Collin Peterson's district. It's a red district in Minnesota, so it will be a tough win for a true progressive, but Peterson is wrong on at least the choice issue and should face a strong primary candidate.

(3,867 posts)it is not a question of being FOR abortion, it is a question of a woman making a difficult choice & it is no one's business but hers, especially not some man, mainly repug, that thinks govt should stay out of their business but not yours.
