Abortion clauses were added to the bills DA was paired with. They didn't call them "The Abortion Bill," but it was in there none the less. Anti-migration activists don't come out with the same numbers or as often as those who support immigration reform. The news was saturated with stories about good kids who want to be American and how the DA would help them. Aside from the few kids who took over Congressional Offices (didn't help convince them) and the few who waved Mexican flags, the media coverage was overall positive. Thats why I'm saying the DA comes down to how and when it's presented.
