Now to respond to their arguments:

Truth be told there are a whole lot of people that would have voted Republican if it wasn’t for abortion. Millions. It would have made the difference for Romney.”
Great. So we get a Republican elected who acts like a Democrat and thinks the government ought not to be protecting people's lives.
How does that help us?
Maybe the economy will do better. The economy in Sodom and Gomorrah was doing well too — after all, they were well-watered cities on the plain which Lot chose because they looked like a good place to live.
In the long run, that won't help us one bit.

I can't believe I'm seeing this on Free Republic.
married21 has already pointed out two: Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.
Want a longer list? It would quickly grow to dozens of nationally known names, plus hundreds if not thousands on the state level of politics.
Liberal women usually favor abortion. Conservative women generally don't, unless they're libertarians. Sounds about like liberal, conservative and libertarian men.
Gender isn't the issue. The issue is whether or not we want to protect babies from mass murder.
It really is that simple.
Michele Bachmann has really shown some steel in the face of attacks from both sides of the aisle. In 08 the NRCC stripped her of funds leaving he to face down the democrats on her own and she survived. In 2010 she again faced the full might of the democrat party and won again. In 2012 she ran a pretty respectable presidential campaign and again faced the democrats and many “republican” attacks that would have made the liberal Palin haters proud and still went on to win her house seat.
That woman is sporting some serious mettle.
You’re either pro-life or you’re pro-infanticide and that’s the way to frame the debate.
Republicans shouldn’t fall into the rape/incest trap.
The issue is whether or not we want to protect babies from mass murder.
It really is that simple.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I didn’t know that the thread had continued to this point.
As an aside...I’ve been seeing some pundits calling AGAIN for social issues to be put on the back burner by Republicans/conservatives. AMAZING! They still don’t GET IT!
