If most Americans really wanted abortion to be legal, they would do anything to prevent a pro-life president from winning.

Pro-life candidates lost in '76, '92 and '96 and in 2000 the pro-life candidate won despite receiving less votes than the pro-choice candidate. The reality of the situation is that voters a.) no longer really care that much about abortion and b.) realize that a pro-life president probably isn't going to do much to change the status quo.

Do the math. It is fair to say by looking at the last two elections that about 1/2 the voters support the pro-choice democrat and the other 1/2 the voters support the republican candidate. Currently, the republican frontrunner is himself, pro-choice.

Kinda starting to look like a consensus, doesn't it?

I don’t think it is so clear cut either way. but does that really matter? A law, even if passed by a slim majority, will still officially represent America. I think the partial abortion ban that was passed sends an important message.

Sure but the R’s have to realize much of the appeal they have to Christians is the pro life plank, maybe not a majority but defiantly a power, mess with them at your own risk..

cat calls of ‘You’re enabling Hillary’ mean little when you ask us to pull the lever for someone who is ok with teh legal murder of unborn kids..
