BTW, just to clarify the meaning: “Republican In Name Only” is an ostensible registered Republican who, when it comes down to it, refuses to vote for the REPUBLICAN nominee.

You have no clue. You're trying to say a RINO is anyone who isn't a sheep.

A “Republican In Name Only” is, quite obviously, someone who calls himself a Republican while espousing a wide array of positions in opposition to the Republican Party platform.

Take a look at the Contract With America - the document widely credited with sweeping Republicans into power in 1994.

... there is not one mention of abortion in it.

So, I’m trying to understand your point in the context of this fact: that Americans are evenly divided over abortion, and that the contract with America gave Americans a rationale for voting for republicans. And it didn’t mention abortion or guns or gays.
