I'm not being rhetorical, but could you tell me more about how they lost? I'd love to feel good for ten minutes: vouchers have been introduced, there are fewer and fewer places where women can get an abortion, racism is back and it's fashionable, and the folks who have their finger on the button are ardently praying for rapture.
What am I missing? Please, I want to know.
