Leaders of the now-defunct Liberty University College Democrats group are reticent to accept Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr.’s latest proposal, which could allow college sponsorship of the group, albeit with a modified charter and different sponsor, group representatives said Saturday.
Falwell said the appeal of Democrats for Life is their single-issue focus, that single issue being very much in line with the position of the university.
The goal of Democrats for Life of America is to support pro-life Democrats and “promote a pro-life plank in the Democratic Party platform,” according to their Web site, http://www.democratsforlife.org.
Under the Liberty University College Democrats constitution, adopted in November of 2008, the group specifically aligned itself with the philosophical ideals of the Democratic Party.
The charter also pledges that the members of the group “will take a pro-life stance and support the traditional form of marriage.”
