  so why can't Dems focus on the pro-corporate aspect (which will draw more sympathy from folks, including quite a few evangelicals) instead of the social aspect? why do they always insist on talking about the Supreme Court in the context of Roe?

    you are getting a pro-corporate hack regardless of what Democrats do and like others have mentioned previously this isn't a winning issue. Highlighting anti-choice and other social positions which resonate with people IS.
