Not everyone in the party respects a woman's right to choose? And we are supposed to respect that?

65. If this were the early 1970's I'd agree with you.

It's not, it's 2017 and a right to choose has been established law since 1973. Yet here we are still having to re fight the same old battles every damn election. I don't want this trend to continue for GLBT, minority or women's rights. Which it will, and it will get worse if we normalize it further.

Dismissing established law for regressive beliefs is ridiculous. Especially in the case where it's a primary candidate. If it's a personally held belief, and they go on to say they'll vote to uphold the law I would reconsider. If it's a deep red district and it's our only hope to possibly win, I could take that into consideration as well. That doesn't mean it should ever be our first choice, or that we shouldn't ever passionately complain about their regressive mindset. However, we should always work to try and get the best candidate in first during the primary. If we don't, then, and only then, do we consider compromise.
