and not running to deceive

"a spokeswoman" without a name. Huh.

But a pro-choice Democratic candidate should for sure run his campaign as a pro-choice Democratic candidate. To do otherwise is to turtle on the issue, and leave citizens wondering if you're going to knuckle on an important issue. Sorry you don't find the Democratic party to your liking on this issue, but that's a choice, too. And you're free to make that choice for just as long as you can.

because Republicans are so busy putting emphasis on taking that right away from women.

Roe v. Wade should have settled it once and for all, but it's Republicans who have made it the main issue. Over and over and over.

If nothing else, the issue of contraception needs to come out, and how abortions tend to go down under Democratic administrations, but for some reason, that point doesn't seem to get consistently pressed.

There are statistics that show that. This is not a political issue, it's a health issue. From the beginning, this issue was used by Republicans to start a war on reproductive rights that would keep their true believers voting for them.

and the subsequent horrible deaths of pregnant women who couldn't go through with the pregnancy? Talk about right to life -- and it's a life that's already viable, not of a 21 week old fetus who couldn't live outside the womb. The question needs to be always about the choice to abort, not about condoning the act of an abortion. Basically: no one has to abort if they don't want to. But if they want to, let's make it as safe as possible. Period.

It is a critical issue, but you can't do anything about it if you don't get elected.

has been "We should run more progressive candidates and then Democrats will turnout!"

Looks like we're gonna be testing this argument!

I actually don't totally disagree with that theory, but not in Alabama! Here is hoping for the best!

Same group opposes sex education and birth control. They don't see how population of earth impacts global warming and carbon emissions.

Which is probably correct.

As for those on the fence, or undecided, or not sure -- it's not unreasonable that they would consider some of the other issues, and find Moore totally unsuitable. Those who consider themselves pro-life but can't bring themselves to vote for Moore will probably stay home.

If the black Democrats in Alabama turnout in the big cities, we might steal this one!

That would be something!!!

went for Obama both terms. Unfortunately, they have very small populations. B'ham is probably Jones' strongest bet, for a number of reasons. 2016 results here -- Clinton did much more poorly than Obama. Jefferson Co., home of B'ham, is the isolated blue blob in the middle.

Polls show Moore ahead by 6-8 pts so far, but the bad press on him -- including possible funny business with funding -- is only starting to come out. Turnout could really decide it.

Someone needs to stand up for women. Many States have essentially legalized rape for all intents and purposes, since they don't even look at the rape kits. Enough of this catering to a loud-mouthed religious minority.

Plenty of Democrats oppose abortion but are willing to vote for Democrats based on other issues including economics and health care that have an impact on abortion rates. That is what Democrats for Life are always saying. Democrats for Life take a "whole life" approach. But when the national party makes a platform that includes repealing the Hyde Amendment that causes problems for Democrats in red states who try to take a more moderate stand on the abortion issue. It makes it look like the Democrats are pro-abortion and not just pro-choice.

Same old commercials, robo calls, mailers and Facebook posts will be coming - 'Right to Life' and 'Nancy/Hillary/Obama Democrat Party.'

This election will depend on what WE will turnout for.

I am against abortion, but for a woman's right to choose. It's not my place to force her to get an abortion, like some of our Republican colleagues, but it's not my place to forbid it, either. Judge not, lest ye be judged. And let's get real, my friends: NO woman "wants" an abortion. Do Republicans think it's fun, or something? Therefore, I am DEFINITELY for access to contraception, because the more access women have to contraception, the less abortions there will be. And less abortions is something ALL Alabamans can get behind. Sure, we can forbid them, but they'll take place anyway. Don't tell me you don't know that, because you DO know that. But if there are no unwanted pregnancies, there will be no abortions. How's THAT for a goal to shoot for?

Of course, I'd lose 68-32, but I'm a southern Democrat..I'm used to that

So easy to just let men call all the shots.
