Are there more people out there that would vote democrat if it wasn't for the party's stance on abortion, or are there more people out there that would vote republican if not for it's pro life stance?

If you asked me this 2 years ago, I would say there are more would-be republicans, but considering the democratic party has now adopted partial birth abortion as a plank, I think it is them, evidenced by hillary losing catholics by an historically high margin for a democrat. (she lost by 7 among catholics, democrats since 1896 have won catholics by average of ten).

If you are in favor of allowing abortions for reasons of pure convenience you are a true piece of shite

I'll worry about abortions when we have a shortage of people. Let's move on from this worn out subject. Besides a few google queries would probably give you the answer that you are obstensively looking for.

I definitely would vote more GOP if they weren't so anti-abortion

I used to assume it was the latter. But now I'm not so sure

I guess the part that fascinates me about abortion is that it is such a huge issue at all.

I mean don't get me wrong. I'm very much anti-abortion. But it's still like 20 it's on my list of things that affect my vote.

In any case. It's just funny that an issue that affects so few people relatively speaking is a litmus test for so many voters

If you or anyone doesn't vote for a party because of one reason please don't vote. That's about as dumb as a poopy flavored lollipop

That it is murder. The law does state that if a pregnant woman gets murdered then it's double homicide. Why is that not the same with abortion

Because that isn't the same as abortion. Easy enough.

No I'm not, and no one else is either, or it'd already be illegal.

Probably the Republicans.

Pro-life voters know better than to expect any results from the GOP. But I keep hearing proggies freak out over this exact issue when the Republicans win.

So the Democrats are using the bogeyman to keep voters who might otherwise abstain or vote R. But Republicans aren't gaining anything due to their lack of results.

Don't baw me, homie. You can dislike abortion without misrepresting what's happening. I certainly do.
