The good of the country stands or falls, in the long-run, on its view of the sanctity of human life. If we sacrifice the good of the unborn for the sake of pragmatism, our country's demise is not far behind.

I've been reading this, and several other threads on the same topic yesterday and today...and something really bugs me. We seem to have a small, vocal contingent that says in essence, "Every conception MUST result in a full-term, live birth. If it doesn't then by God someone is going to jail..." and that anyone that does not subscribe that point of view is branded "pro-abortion", and that pro-choice is a synonym for baby killer. It makes me sick. Abortion as a means of post coital contraception is wrong. I am also in favor of parental notification & consent for minors. However, I am not so closed-minded to realize that there are certain medical situations where termination of a pregnancy is a reasonable option. And I think that this point of view does not alienate the squishy middle of the political spectrum, which any candidate needs to capture the majority of in order to get elected. What really scares the hell out of me is the contingent here that would rather see a "President Hillary" than support a candidate with whom they disagree on one issue. God help us.

So you're willing to pin it all on that, terrorism, the economy, the Supreme Court?
