Where one stands on a woman’s right to choose and on equality for gay people is a matter of conscience. Changing one’s mind in either arena should be done with care and thought, especially by politicians seeking the public trust. Doing an about-face on abortion or gay rights is not cause for suspicion. But reversing your beliefs on abortion, gay rights, gun control, climate change and your own health care plan in the space of an election cycle most definitely is. It bespeaks a person of unmoored convictions. One with a malleable inner core. One, quite frankly, who cannot be trusted.
