A) At no point does the article cite Republicans as the problem. Our culture's view of race is the problem. The media isn't picking up on these issues, a large chunk of DEMOCRATS aren't picking up on these issues.
B) I have no doubt that your husband and daughter are compassionate individuals. My problem is not a personal one with them or most other individual Republicans. My problem is with the Republican PARTY, who has definitely made things personal when they seek to legislate my relationship, my body and my health. I can't espouse unity between the parties at this point without surrendering on these issues, and I'm not willing to do that.
