well, if there was a pro-business candidate who was pro-abortion and the opposite was an anti-business candidate who was anti-abortion, I would vote for the anti. For me the issue of baby-killing takes precedence over my job (I’ll admit, i’ve never been in the situation and what I stated is what I believe I would do)

Then you'd be uniquely exceptional. Most people wouldn't starve or lose their job and possessions over an unknown, unborn baby. I'd be curious if your hypothetical had ever occurred in American politics. The combination seems quite rare.

My point is that the vast majority of the electorate is consistent with God's advice in the Ten Commandments. That is they are jealous, envious, weak, etc. They worship a god of their own making. Realpolitik needs to address the economic concerns of the population.

A winning economic policy is an entre into a social policy consistent with conservative goals, although I don't think we'll ever see a full out ban on abortions. On a full belly the American people will move strongly toward the Constitution. We need to get the incentives right.
