What is depressing is not the current lineup of Democratic Party state level activisists but the irreligion among an entire generation - the Millenials.  This is the generation that was told they don’t have to go to church if they don’t want to - and they don’t.  Whether the the current chruch, which comes off as anti-woman can reverse this is doubtful (at least until they become less culturally unaware themselves because in dealing with modernity their lack of knowledge is as pathetic).  On abortion, the moral argument is not important for law. Get over it.  Rather than dueling over women’s rights v. fetal rights, the Democrats need to focus on what the law can and cannot do and how equal protection for women on abortion has implications for Latino rights, sodomy, contraception and gay marriage as well as the actual impact on miscarriage should first trimester embryos get rights.
