Memories of the Campaign (2 of 3): Abortion.

When campaigning out in the burbs, this one volunteer got this late 20s lower middle-class (white) woman at the door, and when he told her he was going door-to-door with the Dems, she was like, "You know, I'm a one-issue voter, and you probably know what that issue is...", and as soon as he started to say that he understood and was trying to gracefully extract himself from the conversation, she was like, "After I got raped 10 years ago and decided to keep my child, I'm pro-life and that's the only thing that matters, I can never imagine anyone restricting the options of someone in that situation."
