Reply #101: We don't need the anti-abotrion freaks, just the middle

Some will never compromise but I think we have to. Every person I know who went to a swing state said that we lost mainly over abortion. These are folks who are adamantly pro-choice who learned the hard way that this issue loses elections. Many think Dems are 'baby killers.' Our rhetoric that 'it's my body, my choice' is not working.

Very few want to give up on this issue, but we have to re-think it. We have to change the debate and stress that we want to reduce abortions. Focus on children and life. Stress how Dem policies reduce abortions. Stress that we don't like abortion but we don't believe in criminalizing it. Focus on the class issues....rich will continue to have safe, legal abortions but others will not. I don't know, but we have to figure this one out.
