It is a mistake to label the issue of abortion or choice as the only woman's issue as it is amoung the least important of the lot... In the world and in this nation still there are women denied the opportunity to gain education, women who are sold into slavery, held hostage by ideas about "a woman's place," and women who are raped and killed by men without having legal recourse. These are priority issues that should be dealt with first.
While acknowledging the contributions of religions, swear off divisive peripheral issues like abortion and gay rights. Focus instead on issues national consensus. Implement the Unified Security Budget (http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/4175) & Plan B 3.0 (http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/index.htm). Reaffirm Congress sole authority to declare war. Propose Biennial Budget for greater oversight. Repeal all in-effect executive orders over 1 year. Above all, apologize to UN & Iraq.
Put an end to the abortion debate by funding research into transplanting embryos from women who don't want to be pregnant into women who do, or who are willing to adopt unwanted embryos.
The next administration should suspend the "Gag Rule," because women all over the world are suffering from the lack of resources to prevent unsafe abortions, whose number only increases through the Gag Rule's denial of access to education and contraception.
