This is not a myth, unless you're talking about individual democrats, as opposed to the Democrat Party. Individual democrats are all over the board on this issue. But the Democrat Party and its spokepeople , having been co-opted by the extreme left wing organizations like NOW and NARAL, support abortion on demand, and they utilize the size and anger of their membership to advance the extremist agenda. Those democrats who dissent are not acknowledged by the party leaders. Why is that? Because extremist democrats grab the flag and charge up the hill screaming, FOLLOW ME!! and some follow. The moderate democrats are wondering where the flag went. The same phenomenon happens regarding the gay agenda. It happens on the republican side with certain gun control related stances, but it isn't as noticeable or as comical.
