 Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In an international context, the views of the Democratic party are often considered liberal, as liberalism generally has a different meaning outside the United States from its meaning in the U.S. The Democratic Party's political views have roots in the United States progressive movement and in the ideas of intellectuals such as John Dewey.
The party platform represents the views of the majority of delegates to its national convention and is usually heavily influenced by the presidential nominee of that year.
The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption.
