That the DNC should waffle on such a key issue is no surprise to me. If you had me figured for a Democrat, you should note the icon ("CNT FAI" may help with googling.)
Nobody needs to "work to keep it rare", and supporting capitalism/business at one end and "reducing poverty" (if we're to take the most charitable interpretation of that poor choice of phrasing) is deeply hypocritical.
If real work to reduce poverty has the consequence that there are fewer abortions... and rest assured, rich white women have their share of abortions... so be it, but it should be an end unto itself.
As far as I'm concerned, so long as it has a brain less complex than a cat I need feel no more sorry for it than a stray cat which is put down in a shelter due to overcrowding. The conditions which might motivate one to have one's own pet (or child) put down for wont of the ability to care for it, on the other hand, is different.
