On September 9, Live Action<\/a> reported that Representative John DeBerry Jr., a Democrat who represents Memphis in the Tennessee State House, will be running as an Independent in his next election. The Democrats have removed him from the Democrat party because he is pro-life.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In April, the Tennessee Democratic Party\u2019s executive committee voted 41-18 to remove DeBerry from the ballot for the August primary, a potential blow to DeBerry\u2019s chance to run as an Independent or as a Republican, since the vote took place after the filing deadline had passed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Bryan Carson, an executive committee member from Memphis, told the Tennesseean that he believes DeBerry does not exemplify \u201cbasic Democratic principles,\u201d and that DeBerry\u2019s constituents do not realize what he stands for. \u201cThe people who\u2019ve challenged him, they haven\u2019t been able to raise the money to have a decent campaign to let them know what he\u2019s actually doing in Nashville,\u201d Carson said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

DeBerry, an ordained minister with the Church of Christ,\u00a0told the Catholic News Agency<\/a>, \u201cMy work in Nashville as a legislator is nothing more than an extension of my work as a child of God, as a Christian,\u201d he said, adding that he has not hidden his pro-life principles. \u201cSo for them to say that folks don\u2019t know where I stand, they actually said that the people in my district don\u2019t have sense enough to elect their representative.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to CNA, DeBerry \u201cwas one of more than 100 Democrats at the federal, state, and local levels who recently asked the platform committee of the Democratic National Convention to moderate the abortion language in the party\u2019s platform.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder how many people who consistently vote Democrat understand that abortion is one of the main pillars of the Democrat party. If you are pro-life, you are not welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
