Most people would and should be disgusted and would eliminate them from personal consideration.



People could be pro-choice for different personal reasons that no one would understand until you heard that person explain it to you. The first reason that comes to mind is rape. If someone is raped and gets pregnant it's not my call to say they should keep it or not.

I don't think my personal views should dictate to others what they can or can't do.

And I don't really care if a candidate is pro-life or pro-choice. In general, I am against abortion, but if a candidate isn't, that doesn't affect their ability to serve in the position they are running on.

If a candidate came out and said that they think "insert race/religion/sexual orientation here" should all be rounded up, placed in camps and/or euthanized, would you vote for them to be your representative?


So you're completely okay with the above mentioned scenario? Because that is what I was referencing in the piece of a quote you copied.

Also, I wouldn't classify a rape victim as an abortion of convenience, and I missed where I said that my personal views should be pushed on others.

Good for you. You asked if religious views affected political views, and I responded with MY personal opinion. Others are free to agree or disagree with it as they see fit. I will not apologize for voting for those who hold my beliefs and values, and while I have no doubt others may be fine civil servants, if we don't see eye to eye on the value of life than they cannot truly represent me or my interests.
