The Dems lost because conservatives don't really understand how important things like Public Schooling are, and hate the fact that women have control over their own bodies. (They'll say that abortion is murder, but when it comes down to it they say that women need to face consequences for their actions, which is why many of them are okay with a rape exception)
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
