Okay, you're the Democrat running to become South Dakota's next Governor. And, in normal behavior for a Democrat seeking political office, you oppose such sweeping pro-life measures as the abortion ban passed earlier by the state legislature. In fact, you create a special news conference to "clarify" how completely you're opposed to the ban.
You've got everything going for you -- you're speaking to like-minded souls in the media; you're utilizing the old "Of course, I'm pro-life but" rhetoric; and, heck, you're a physician with all the authority that commands.
But, uh oh...you suddenly discover that your own brother (also a physician) has come to the same place with a public statement of his own. And his statement stands squarely, strongly against yours --- "I support this courageous act by our South Dakota Legislature and Governor Rounds, because it recognizes the scientific and moral truth about human life in the womb."
Maybe it's just not your day, after all.
