Is abortion the single most important political issue to those on the left?

It seems to me that it is. I'd love to hear from those on the left of the aisle and see if you agree.
If it's not the most important issue to you, what is?
TIA.

Abortion, gay rights, affirmative action. The liberal trinity.

Lol no it's been legal for 40 years. It's the one's on the right that are obsessed over it.

Actually, it's been legal for over 100 years in the U.S. Prior to Roe v. Wade abortion was a state by state issue. It was legal in half the states.

And the biggest issue for me would be stop spending trillions of dollars on wars and defense and instead invest in american (infrastructure, roads, education, science, health care, alternative energy)
Though I realize it's the biggest pipe dream of them all because this country is ruled by the military industrial complex

you would consider me left.
And its not my top issue in the slightest. Not sure I would have a top issue.
I think maybe reduce defense spending would be number 1. Either that or banking reform. But there are probably 20 things above it IMHO, if not 50.
My wife would definitely disagree. its probably her number 1 issue, although she really hates those drones, and keystone XL.

I'm a pretty left-leaning guy and I couldn't give two shits about abortion. I'm not very religious and I don't have a uterus, so the way I see it, I don't really have a dog in the fight.

Nope, it’s gay celebration

From where I sit it appears to be the #1 issue for many conservatives as well.
Not sure I have a #1 issue. Prison reform, bank reform, welfare reform, cutting defense spending, improving education, and campaign finance reform are a few I find important.

Its a terrible form of birth control and I wish it did not happen, but I'll worry about abortion when there is a shortage of people.

I am a moderate Dem while my wife is way left and abortion is not an issue to either one of us. conservatives cant seem to put it down but hey they have to have something to say on sunday when they go to church.

How far left do you want to go? I want an end to the capitalist economy and a socialist United States of America.

Liberals own all the key socio-political issues:
1. abortion/women's rights
2. gay rights
3. minority rights
4. economic rights/inequality
5. immigrant rights/amnesty
This is why they have a lock-step/guaranteed 47% of voters every election so all they have to do is attract 3 or 4% of independents/swing voters.

Not even close.
Our growing plutocracy and wealth inequality.
The military-industrial complex and excessive military spending.
Lack of infrastructure investment.
Warmongering.
Separation of church and state.
Health care.
Poverty.
All much more important to me than abortion.

It's been legal in every state for 40 years, so no.

Criminalizing abortion is a silly pipe dream...it will never happen, I'd bet my life on it.
It's the right who need to stop trying to fight losing battles on abortion and gay marriage and need to focus on real issues like the economy.
