    Democrats: Can you make the connection?

    Poverty + restriction of choice = more abortions

    Anything in there NOT sound like something Democrats could sell to voters? As a party, they're supposed to be concerned with the root social causes of poverty and the consequences of restricting access to contraception and abortion options; and everybody is again MORE abortions.

    Present an important issue that favors the party in a serious context that voters understand? Wait a minute...!

    Naw, it would never work.
