7. Freedom of Religious Choice
If we can word it right maybe we can turn around the debate.

Polls show that a majority are open to civil unions and abortion to some degree, even if they would allow more restrictions than now present.

Everybody support religious choice in princple.

What if we had some sort of measure to protect people from having their personal choices infringed upon due to the religious views of others. The details would be tricky, but if we could pose banning abortion and civil unions as examples of some imposing their religions on others (which is exacly what it is) we might be able to take the moral high road away from the religious right on these issues.
