If health care affordability is a concern, is there any chance that some rural voters will understand that the answer is more socialism, not less? Red state Senate Democrats killed the public option in 2009; would that have made a difference?
So people who are economically liberal but are against abortion are not real Democrats?
Democrats can't abandon women's concern for control of their reproduction. However, I believe compromise is possible on this issue. The problem is one of heat rather than light.
Pro-Choice activists need to quit insinuating that any man who is against abortion must be a misogynist who hates women and that any woman who is against abortion must be "brainwashed by patriarchal religion".
Also, I have run into extremists who think I'm a horrible person because I think abortion is a necessary evil rather than a "liberating social good". And these people wonder why they are then accused of being a part of a "culture of death" by folks out here in Middle America...
