abortion becomes not "pro-choice" or "anti-abortion" but the freedom of a person to make deeply personal decisions without government intrusion

and never get into the fetus/moment of life trap debate.. Always FREEDOM from govt intrusion into a person's privacy.

use republican TACTICS against them as they always try to wrap stuff in freedom/flag/bible bullshit.

Make republicans argue taking away freedoms and having government intrusion, make them have to defend it on everything and then you throw out so you are for BIG GOVT AND BIG SPENDING to support it

You know how you win, use their weaknesses of their own arguments against them. Not rocket science my friend
