They are the shortend of the wedge which seem totally reasonable, until you read the fine print.

And what you choose to ignore is the theocrats and those who what take away the privacy rights of all Americans have been totally upfront with regard to their strategy, which on social issues is make abortion illegal (which will probably not effect the abortion rate, just make it just incredibly more dangerous, and kill more women) and then go after birth control.  We have already seen the right making inroads into making it harder for women to get contraceptives.

After that we can expect more of the same, criminalization of adultery and sex between people who are single.  

How anyone can willing cooperate with such an obvious right wing agenda, while alienating our base is just another reason to reject the socalled "moderate" Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.  They simply can't be trusted to protect the rights of the majority of Americans.
