Not interested. He’s pro-abortion. I’m never going to vote for a pro-abortion candidate.

Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are the only ones I’m interested in voting for. And as much as I like Palin, I really don’t think she’s got much of a shot. But if she’s running, I’m gonna vote for her. I’m concerned that Bachmann would vote to permit abortion in cases of rape and incest. So if she and Palin run against each other in the primary, I’ll go with Palin.

The reason is this: Except as a step toward a total ban on abortion, it makes no sense to permit it in cases of rape and incest. If the fetus is a human child and has a right to life, then the circumstances of his/her conception, as tragic as they may be, are no reason to kill him/her. You don’t punish the child for the father’s crime.

I’m suspicious of any politician who would vote to permit abortion under any circumstances. Let’s face it. The only justification for banning abortion is that the fetus is an innocent human being. And if that’s the case, then there is no justification at all for killing him/her. And if you think there is any circumstance that justifies the intentional killing of a human being, then I don’t want you in any political office whatsoever, no matter what your positions are on homosexual marriage, the economy, the military, or anything else.

So... I like Bachmann, but this flaw would prevent me from voting for her over a more pro-life candidate.

Okay - you said you’d never vote for a pro-abortion candidate.

What would you do if it’s Gary Johnson or some other pro-abortion candidate against Obama?

If you don’t vote at all because the R is pro-abortion aren’t you then helping to elect the worse evil?

I agree on Palin. I love her but don’t think she has a chance. As for Bachmann, I really like her, but she just got owned by Stephonopolus. As for abortion in rape situations, I think that should be allowed. Why should a woman be forced to carry some degenerate’s seed? It would be more punishment heaped upon the woman and family involved. Secondly, degenerates usually produce more degenerates.

Yep, me too! That issue is a non-starter for me. Any candidate that doesn't get the number one unalienable right - the right to life - will NEVER get my vote. I'd sit it out before I would vote for them. The RNC had better not try that with us.
