It’s never been tried.
But, it has a very clear benefit, even if it does not prevail: it would be a clear head count of all the votes the republicans threw away.
I’m guessing that you used to smoke dope. :>)
Finally, “life” is not an abstract idea. You’re either dead or you’re alive. LIFE is not an idea, issue, infatuation, polling point, etc., etc.
It is a RIGHT given by God alone. It is the ultimate RIGHT. Take away that RIGHT and all other rights and all other issues, ideas, abstracts, etc., matter not one whit.
Dead people don’t care about any issues at all. They’re indisposed.
A write-in campaign? It's been tried many times. Howdy Doody and Alfred E. Newman, for starters. It just hasn't been taken seriously.

Well, then, you could get a nice, warm pat on the back for your head-count after Hillary's inauguration.

A few times in college. It made me twitchy and paranoid in the half-hour it took me to fall asleep. DO NOT WANT. I went back to alcohol, caffeine and nicotine as my favorite intoxicants.
I did know a lot of stoners, and sometimes had to talk down folks who were freaking out on acid or X (we called that "ground control"). I had a reputation as the one guy in the room sober enough to talk sense, or to call an ambulance, or to talk a dude out of the notion that he could jump from one third-floor dorm room to another.
I never saw anyone doing coke or meth or smack. I probably knew folks who did, but they never did it in my presence or told me about it. They knew if they even thought about that kind of mess in my house they would be told to get the F out.

Dunno what you're getting at here. I'm talking about the viability of a third-party candidate, regardless of the ideological argument for it. Abolitionist parties, Prohibitionist (or Temperance) parties, the Know-Nothings, and other single-issue parties have been a historical footnote since the first days of the Republic. I see no reason to believe that an anti-abortion (pro-life, if you prefer) party would do any better.
