I'm not positive, but I think part of the impetus was Kerry's people saying he was surprised at the number of conflicted D constituents who would be a lot less conflicted if the party's position was a bit less strident on this issue.
And then there is the pro-life D Senate minority leader. Its gonna be interesting to see who comes out as the DNC chair.

There is certainly a movement in the DEM party away from the absolute pro-choice position, which is a good thing for both the DEMs and the country, but I don't think this will become the party orthodoxy without a fight.
