Marriage
equality, abortion rights and women's access to birth control are three
of the biggest issues that will decide this year's presidential
election, The Associated Press reports.
Democrats are expected to
support marriage rights for same-sex couples, but a draft of the
Republican Party platform released last week voices strong
opposition to marriage equality.
The draft GOP platform is "bad with a
capital ‘B.’" for gay people, according to R. Clarke Cooper, head of the
Log Cabin Republicans.
