While we're at it, can one explain why many Black Democrats from VRA districts are pro-choice and pro-LGBT? Do special interests play a role?
Being pro-choice might be out of line when it comes to black churches, but not the black electorate, even in the rural south. Personhood lost in MS of all places because blacks overwhelmingly voted against.
As for same-sex marriage, such a conversion was mostly made possible by Obama embracing it, along with the wider societal trends. Black democratic politicians were generally opposed to same-sex marriage just 5 years ago.
