The Democratic Party has proposed changes to the party’s platform on abortion rights with a new focus on reducing the number of abortions, in an overture to evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics.

The party’s platform now reads: “We stand proudly for a woman’s right to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of her ability to pay. … At the same time, we strongly support family planning and adoption incentives. Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.”

The proposed changes, drafted by a group of progressive evangelical and Catholic leaders, add that while still firmly backing Roe vs. Wade, “the Democratic Party strongly supports access to affordable family planning services and comprehensive age-appropriate sex education … which help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions.”
