Sob stories, hard cases, and people that have made bad choices and have no intention of changing their ways. This is the emotional stock in trade for liberals who don't have the truth on their side and can't even muster up a rational argument in their own defense. At the same time, they completely refuse to even
hear (let alone consider) the other side of the argument.
It's all emote, emote, emote. It works for most of these women and for men who think like these women.
