At the beginning of October, a self-proclaimed Democratic liberal atheist founded an organization, Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), which aims to mobilize liberal pro-life activists and to undo the influence of the abortion industry on the Democratic Party.

Terrisa Bukovinac, the founder of PAAU, through the organization’s efforts, wants to uphold the progressive values of equality, nonviolence, and nondiscrimination and told The Epoch Times that there are many more people like her in the Democratic Party and among progressives who disagree with extreme abortion rights laws that allow abortion up until birth.
