Sorry Fred, when one party claims that their mission is to overturn roe v wade, make ALL abortions illegal and will remove insurance coverage for contraception....that is war. Just because you don't think they can win that war doesn't change that fact. I never underestimate fanatics on a crusade.

These decide a lot of elections for single issue voters but I wonder if there are more single issue antiabortion voters or proabortion voters.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Roe v Wade will never be overturned and no GOP candidate that would aspire to that would ever get it overturned.
It is a fear tactic used by the left.
I am pro life. I believe that women do have a choice (with a limited amount of exceptions)
93% of abortions are performed for social or convenience reasons.
A woman has the right to make her choice right at the beginning.
Some interesting abortion facts:
UNITED STATES
Number of abortions per year: 1.37 Million (1996)
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 3,700
Who's having abortions (marital status)?
64.4% of all abortions are performed on never-married women; Married women account for 18.4% of all abortions and divorced women obtain 9.4%.
Why women have abortions
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
This statistic was the saddest of all.
At what gestational ages are abortions performed:
52% of all abortions occur before the 9th week of pregnancy, 25% happen between the 9th & 10th week, 12% happen between the 11th and 12th week, 6% happen between the 13th & 15th week, 4% happen between the 16th & 20th week, and 1% of all abortions (16,450/yr.) happen after the 20th week of pregnancy.
lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something: an amoral attitude to sex
Amoral describes someone who does not care if his actions are right or wrong or actions that show a lack of care about what is morally right. (adjective)
A person who has no conscience or scruples is an example of an amoral person.
Stealing from the poor is an example of an amoral action.
I would also like to personally add that stealing from the rich would constitute an amoral act.
I have morals... They just don't include some of your religion-based stuff. And fortunately, for the most part, you don't get to impose your so-called "morality" on me by force-of-law.
You don't like abortion? Don't have one.
You don't like contraception? Don't use it.
You don't like marriage equality? Don't marry someone of the same sex...
Simple....
Asking the rich to pay 3.8% more on their earnings OVER $250,000 (which is the rate they were paying 12 years ago) is not "theft"...And I care about as much for that personal definition of what is "moral" as I do interfering with a woman's right to choose.
