Not a lot of Jews in my district, but from what I read and the few Jews I talk to, they mosty see the Republican Party as the party of redneck Bubbas.... know-nothings who are anti-Semitic and anti-progress. Or filthy-rich corrupt plutocrats who are anti-Semitic. But if Republicans and Dems flip-flopped on abortion, that would change things dramatically as most Jews are fervently pro-abortion.

I wouldn't exactly put it that "most Jews are pro abortion." I would say more that the group you speak of is fervently opposed to the government having anything to say about anything to do with sex, which is what they think a pregnancy relates to. I and many other Jews disagree on this, by the way. But I am trying to make a distinction between being pro-abortion as, say, the Red Chinese are, and a group who is (wrongly) libertarian on social issues.
