4. These points were addressed in the article.
Your arguments are the same old same old. They don't hold water.

Why? Because abortion is the single most potent issue in their arsenal and has drawn millions of people who used to be with us to their side. The other issues are manageable. This one is not.

As far as "I don't feel like sacrificing the rights of young women to win elections" well that's more of the same old logic. Then you say "I might as well be a republican, then." Are you saying the only thing that separates us from the Republicans is abortion? I don't believe that for a minute.

And right now, all those other things that separate us from Republicans are being sacrificed on the altar of this one issue.
