Happy Easter. A final thought (!) on the issue. Clinton is  Methodist and Barack Obama was a man of faith. Those obsessed with abortion referred to both in a way that suggests they were irreligious. 
   Similarly, Trump could do no wrong for some of his supporters as long as he was "pro life".
In the light of the primacy of conscience, none of this makes sense. I can see the wisdom in not repealing the Hyde Amendment, as it was a legitimate concession to a concern expressed by a constituency. It was a bad move on the part of the Democratic campaign and cost them votes. 
    The trade-off voting Republican is not worth it for many, which should be the case. If the Democrats are going to win again they should wed a truly honest economic reform package to a vision of social change that lets everyone have a seat on the bus.
