Your position is even LESS tenable than others. If Rudy agreed with you on every other position (taxes, borders, gay "marriage", etc.) but disagreed on abortion, you still would vote for him?
All I can say is "Hillary Clinton, President, 2009-2017".
There are some lines you just don't cross. For some folks, that's one of them.
As I said...everyone has their line...their own breaking point...what is important to them. Abortion is murder of an unborn human being...pure and simple and I will never give my vote to anyone who thinks that is OK because that tells me A LOT about that person.
But...I know there would be a CHORUS of people here on FR who would be sniging along that we should hold our noses and vote for Rudy...since he has the all important "R" by his name. That issue would cause me to not hold my nose...and would lead me to go somewhere else...
And I promise you I would not be alone...a large portion of the base would disappear on election day as well. The bottom line is this: The GOP cannot take it's base for granted any longer....and they need to stop acting like democrats. If I wanted democrats in congress I would vote for them.
I would rather be stabbed in the front than the back.
Where in the United States Constitution do you see that the Federal Government has any role in abortion????
Roe v. Wade was decided by an activist court making a tortured interpretation of the "right to privacy." I happen to be fervently against abortion, but do not believe the federal government has any say in it. It is a matter "reserved to the states."
