6. Reproductive rights are one of my top issues in any election cycle

I have never met anyone who was indifferent about Roe v. Wade who was not simply deluded into thinking that the ruling can have no bearing on him or her.

Anyone who preaches about "refusing to settle for the lesser evil" is naive and myopic. A Republican in the Whitehouse would be an abomination and would set back reproductive freedom a century or more.
