Why don't Democrats come out against FORCED BIRTH ?
What is the difference between FORCED BIRTH and forced abortions in China?

Both deny womens' reproductive rights and privacy.

2. Oh yeah - *that* will resonate with the general public
...and will in no way play into the GOP mantra:

Dems = baby killers

Try again. :eyes:

4. Against Forced Birth = baby killer?? If you are "pro-life",baby killer is
the only line you know.

But I do not see the connection

and I do think "Against forced birth" can have positive traction with part of the public not into calling 4 cells a baby.

5. It's a loser.
You can't put the onus on the birth, for God's sake. Not if you want to actually get elected.

See, most people in this world see childbirth as a positive thing. A 'blessed event', some even call it. It's got all kinds of emotional hearts and flowers and cinnamon and sunshine associated with it.

'Forced birth'. It won't fly in the mainstream.

3. It's all reproductive slavery
But right wingers generally hate women, so it's just fine with them.

7. we just can't do justice to every issue so we must pick those that will
resonate most with the electorate. You make a good point, though.
