Since your post was filled with logic and reason, I can respond in kind.
It is an important issue to a lot of people, I’m one of them. However, I wish the “absolutionists” as I call them would take my more pragmatic view. Absolutionist is not meant to be derogatory, it’s just the best one-word term to describe conservatives who put abortion above all else. Not a judgement in favor or against such a position, it’s just a description.
You’re right that there is a right to life in the Constitution.
However, as other Freepers have pointed out, murder itself is a state issue currently. All 50 states, of course, make murder illegal, but it’s a state issue nonetheless. Why not make abortion the same?
The other candidates you mention JUST AREN’T GOING TO WIN. They just aren’t.

Murder is a crime in all 50 states, I just suggest that a fetus is a person and should be covered by the same laws. While Murder is a State crime it is a mandated crime by the Federal Constitution because of the protection of Life. If Life was defined in the constitution to include the unborn then abortion would automatically be illegal in all 50 states.
I did not mention any particular candidates, I think at this early point all have a chance. I have a favorite today but tomorrow that may change. I will support the nominee whomever it is, I just hope the nominee is someone who speaks well on his feet and will support my right to life by winning the WOT and protect the life of the unborn. I think the Republican platform is pretty good, it could be much better but should be supported 100% by the candidates.
