they are going to have a problem there. Most people don't have abortions even if they are pro choice. But most of us have used contraception. And hearing that someone wants to deny women access to birth control is going to make a lot of people unhappy. Men and women alike. I don't see how this could be a winner for anyone. Sure it might help with extreme right wing folks in these last three primaries, but in most of the country and definitely in the general election it could be a big problem.
