I have to say this is a very brave article. I have thought about a lot of this...but if I ever said it or posted it on line, I would lose many of my friends who are conservative, republican, and Christian. I don't know why these friends of mine can not see that we don't live in a theocracy and should not want to. We should not want to go back to the good ole days, which weren't all that great. We need to move forward and work on things that matter, the economy; education; poverty; the environment etc...but we get stuck in old battles that never seem to go away. Yes the republicans have researched their fan base well...just keep saying they will end abortion, even though they never do, and people believe them. Most of my friends are voting on this one issue, and they think Trump is with them.
