"woman's" issue! And neither party should have a claim on it. Many republican woman are pro-choice and they need someone to vote for as well. You say her "bonfides are established" , or unquestioned? By whom? I think she would sell out her grandmother to get a vote and some people would agree that that was just dandy!
And my question wasn't merely rhetorical. All those issues from vasectomies to hysterectomies are reproductive rights issues.
And would you care to define"normal" on this position? I don't happen to believe she is articulating a normal position. She isn't really articulating a position at all. She is merely mumbling sympathy for those that have had abortions. That is fine but she is trying to reach across and establish middle ground where there is none to be had. I and many others don't want" partial reproductive rights" and that is where this argument is taking us.
I am a woman and an equal sentient being before I am a Democrat or anything else. And I won't cede one iota of my rights to a fetus, nor will I cede any of my rights to get ANYONE elected!
