Crazy statement by MSW: "The perfect Dem candidate for winning back seats from Republicans is a pro-life Dem who wants to sock it to the rich on their tax bill."

Not even all Republicans are supportive of making abortion illegal.  And a pro-life Dem will lose a lot of Dem votes, especially among women.  From Pew Research based on Jan. 2017 survey:  "About six-in-ten U.S. adults (59%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared with 37% who say it should be illegal all or most of the time. Public support for legal abortion is now as high as it’s been in two decades of polling."

The perfect candidate is one who will work on finding the middle ground we can stand on.  That does mean accepting abortion as a legal alternative, but it also means a firm support for the mandate of contraceptives in health insurance and support for women who have an unplanned pregnancy.    We need to study what European nations have done and end this as a divisive issue.  We are ready for this
