Advice to Dems from Dems for Life | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: For DFL, campaigning on abortion is an issue, because it alienates pro-life Democratic voters.  Of course, it is as much the case that the GOP uses abortion as an electoral issue as it is that candidates respond to very real events in terms of legislation - legislation that is eventually overturned under the undue burden test.  I can see their point, however you can guess by my previous comments that simply fighting for reproductive rights isn't enough - and I agree that it would alienate pro-life Democrats, yet if the Republican playbook is to really do nothing on abortion but milk the issue for funds and voters, then perhaps this should be the plan of attack - it would certainly get DFL to justify who it is in bed with. I suspect that there are some in the RTL movement who think any Democrat is on the wrong side - just look at who Susan B. Anthony fund targeted in 2010.
