WASHINGTON — Democrats have nearly stamped out opposition to abortion rights in their party, but there’s a big exception in a tiny state in their own backyard.
The last stronghold of anti-abortion Democrats is not in the conservative South or moderate Midwest, but in the true blue New England state of Rhode Island, where Democrats control every major political office and outnumber Republicans eight-to-one in the state Senate.
Rhode Island received an “F” grade from NARAL Pro-Choice America in 2016 and has a General Assembly run almost entirely by Right to Life-backed Democrats.
