It makes zero difference to me if they are a Republican or Democrat.

This has f all to do with ideological purity. This is about basic survival.

That you so glibly use the lives of women as a political strategy-- with no effort to even inform yourself on the likelihood of its succeeding--proves to me that our lives are inconsequential to you.

This is a strategy guaranteed to make the Dem Party lose like never before. That is so obvious it's hard to see how anyone who didn't want to destroy the party would even contemplate it. How anyone thinks they can attack the majority of their voters and still win defies comprehension.
