"Like the majority of Americans, Democrats believe that every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion," the draft platform reads. In the draft, Democrats also commit to restoring federal funding for Planned Parenthood, opposing state laws that limit abortion rights, repealing the Hyde Amendment, which bars the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services, and codifying the Roe v. Wade court case that provides a legal defense of abortion. Friday's letter, however, calls for the party to abandon language supporting the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and codification of Roe v. Wade. "As Democrats, we are anti-Trump and enthusiastic supporters of Black Lives Matter," Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life of America, said in a statement Friday. " Why is dismembering preborn children the hill we want to die on when so much is at stake? We took this issue for granted in 2016, and Hillary Clinton lost. We cannot make this mistake again." The letter is unlikely to affect the party's platform.
