Tips from the pros

Gloria Feldt of Planned Parenthood has some advice for the Democratic Party.
I know, I know; that's not news. She's been giving them advice for years, and they've just not noticed that her advice helps them to lose election. But I digress.
Democrats, Feldt says, "need to stop allowing the extreme, anti-choice right wing of the Republican Party to paint them into a corner where all they talk about is abortion."
Fascinating.
If you have a few spare moments today-- I know we're all busy-- here's your research assignment:
• Find a campaign speech in which a Republican candidate-- any Republican candidate-- spoke exclusively-- no, make that mainly-- about abortion.
OR
• Find a speech by Gloria Feldt in which she didn't speak mainly-- if not exclusively-- about abortion.
