use the hand you are dealt with. Dems could take this issue and show that they are the truly compassionate conservative by repeating that THIS IS A FAMILY MATTER OVER AND OVER AT EVERY PUBLIC OPPORTUNITY. The public is overwhelmingly against what the repubs are doing and the fact that Dems can't seize the moment says a lot. What would be so hard for Dems to say " I am sorry but this is a family matter and just like you and I would want our family choices to be respected WE OWE THIS SAME RESPECT TO THIS FAMILY. This surely would put the Dems on great footing for people to know that Dems care and would not intrude in family matters for political gain.
