No offense, but single issue voters do not impress me. Threats do not impress me either. The republican party is bigger than one issue. Most of us agree with you on the issue of abortion, but staying home on election day because you are not being pandered to sounds an awful lot like a liberal's frame of mind. It takes time to change laws in this country. You don't start an effective movement by threatening to desert the only allies you have. Just ask the gay marriage supporters.

Well said..
Pro-Life extremists fail to recognize the strides that have been made for life..

A man was just found guilty of 2 murders yesterday.
One of his wife, and one of his unborn son.

There is recognition of the life issue in the courts, and we see it every time an unborn child's life is taken in an act of violence, neglect, or other criminal behaviours.
Those criminals are now, in most states going to be charged with the death of the unborn infant.

That was not the case as little as 10 years ago..
The Pro-Life movement should be rejoicing at the amount of progress that has been made..

Given time, and more legal precedent, it will become accepted moral and legal doctrine.
Once the general public recognizes and supports that doctrine, attitudes will change, and the realization that abortion is a relevent adjunct to that legal precedent will also take place.

Public attitude toward abortion will change as well.
