Democratic Party platform takes extreme pro-abortion position

The Democratic Party has released their 2012 party platform and unfortunately it's plank on abortion is extremely pro-abortion. It reads in part:
Protecting A Woman's Right to Choose. The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. We oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right. Abortion is an intensely personal decision between a woman, her family, her doctor, and her clergy; there is no place for politicians or government to get in the way.

"Regardless of ability to pay" means the 2012 Democratic Party platform officially endorses tax-funded abortions. The plank also notes opposition to "any and all efforts to weaken or undermine" legal abortion. That means the Democratic Party is officially opposed to any pieces of prolife legislation which restrict abortion including parental consent laws or legislation which bans partial-birth abortion, sex-selection abortion or late-term abortions.
