"If the Dem Party opens its doors to legislating away women's bodily autonomy, neither they nor women net any gains. Period"
Wrong. The party is not doing this. It is building a coalition that prevents this from happening.

"At that point, women will be forced to fight a two-front war just to keep what dwindling rights and liberties we DO have. /4"
Wrong. See above

"If you weren't in a coma during the 2016 election you might remember how the first female candidate had to fight just this two-front war. /6"
Right. This is the fault of narrow and shortsighted thinking. Also the fault of a Russian backed Trump election campaign to stir up the left flank.

True, but Democratic women are not a monolith.

"The more we're forced to bear, the less $ and time we have to support a Party."
Are you forced to bare more with a Democratic speaker or a Republican one? That's a real choice.

The argument is about winning a false purity battle and losing the real legislative war.
