10. "Make it an issue in 2016?"

Really? Abortion is not an issue now? So they will make it non-stop "Democrats want to kill babies" commercials for a year? Instead on creating your own issue, how about finding out what is important to the future of the country? We all know why. Abortion makes people ANGRY and whatever makes people angry sells to Republican voters. And many independents and some Democrats. But it is what it is, it's the law of the land, so move on to issues also important in 2016.

Instead of making people angry, how about continuing the policies of the last twenty years that have dramatically reduced abortions? That is making progress. That is giving what anti-abortionists want - fewer abortions. Why is there no recognition of policies that have succeeded?

As Chris Matthews famously says, "perfect is the enemy of good."
